Question 1:

Answer:

No, we cannot find the mass of a photon by the definition p = mv. The equation p = mv is valid only for objects that move with a velocity that is much slower than the speed of light. The momentum of a relativistic particle like photon is given by pc=E2-m2c4.
A photon has zero rest mass. Therefore, on putting m = 0 in the equation, we get
p=Ec, which is the valid equation for a photon.

Answer:

(a) In relativity, the relative speed of two objectsvrel moving in the same direction with speeds u and v is given by
     vrel=u-v1-uvc2 ...1
 As the photons are moving with the speed of light, u = c and v = c.
 On substituting the values of u and v in equation (1), we get:
 vrel = 0
Thus, relative velocity of a photon with respect to another photon will be 0, when they are going in the same direction.
(b) In relativity, relative speed of two objects moving in opposite directions with speeds u and v is given by
    vrel=u+v1+uvc2 ...2
   We know that a photon travels with the speed of light. Therefore, u = c and v = c
   On substituting the values of u and v in equation (2), we get:
   vrel=c
   Thus, the relative velocity of a photon with respect to another photon will be equal to the speed of light when they are going in opposite directions.

Answer:

Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal's surface if the frequency of incident radiation is more than the threshold frequency of the given metal surface. As yellow light does not eject photoelectrons from a metal it means that the threshold frequency of the metal is more than the frequency of yellow light. Since the frequency of orange light is less than the frequency of yellow light, therefore it will not be able to eject photoelectrons from the metal's surface. The frequency of green light is more than the frequency of yellow light. Hence, when it is incident on the metal surface, it will eject electrons from the metal.

Answer:

Photosynthesis starts when a plant is exposed to visible light. The visible light's photons possess just enough energy to excite the electrons of molecules of the plant without causing damage to its cells. Infrared rays have less frequency than visible light. Due to this, the energy of the photons of infrared rays are not sufficient to initiate photosynthesis. Therefore, photosynthesis does not start if plants are exposed only to infrared light.

Answer:

When light of wavelength less than λ0 is incident on the metal surface, the free electrons of the metal will gain energy and come out of the metal surface. As the metal plate is insulated (it is not connected with the battery), the free electrons of the metal will not be replaced by the other electrons.

Answer:

From Einstein's mass- energy equation,
E = mc2
E=m0c21-v2c2
Relativistic momentum,
   p=mvp=m0c21-v2c2
Combining the above equations, we get:

The two bulbs are of equal power. It means that they consume equal amount of energy per unit time.
Now, as the frequency of blue light fb is higher than the frequency of red lightfr, hfb>hfr.
Hence, the energy of a photon of blue light is more than the energy of a photon of red light.

Answer:

(b) the photoelectrons are emitted but are re-absorbed by the emitter metal

In an experiment on photoelectric effect, the photons incident at the metal plate cause photoelectrons to be emitted. The metal plate is termed as "emitter". The electrons ejected are collected at the other metal plate called "collector". When the potential of the collector is made negative with respect to the emitter (or the stopping potential is applied), the electrons emitted from the emitter are repelled by the collector. As a result, some electrons go back to the cathode and the current decreases.

Answer:

According to Einstein's equation of photoelectric effect,

Now if we compare (2) and (3), it can be observed that:

It is clear from the above equation that if the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled, the stopping potential will be more than doubled.

Answer:

(b) A is true but B is false.

Saturated current varies directly with the intensity of light. As the intensity of light is increased, a large number of photons fall on the metal surface. As a result, a large number of electrons interact with the photons. As a result, the number of emitted electrons increases and, hence, the current also increases.
At the same time, the frequency of the light source also increases.Also, with the increase in frequency of light, the stopping potential increases as well. This will reduce the current. The combined effect of these two is that the current will remain the same
Hence, A is true.
From the Einstein's photoelectric equation.
Kmax=hv-φ
Where Kmax = kinetic energy of electron
            v = frequency of light
            φ = work function of metal
It is clear from the above equation. As the frequency of light source is doubled, kinetic energy of electron increases. But, it becomes more than the double.

Answer:

(a) there is a minimum frequency below which no photoelectrons are emitted
(b) the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of light and not on its intensity
(c) even when the metal surface is faintly illuminated the photoelectrons leave the surface immediately

Photoelectric effect can be explained on the basis of quantum nature of light. According to the quantum nature of light, energy in light is not uniformly spread. It is contained in packets or quanta known as photons.
Energy of a photon, E = hv, where h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of light.
Above a particular frequency, called threshold frequency, energy of a photon is sufficient to emit an electron from the metal surface and below which, no photoelectron is emitted, as the energy of the photon is low. Hence, option (a) supports the quantum nature of light.
Now, kinetic energy of an electron,
K=hv0-φ
Thus, kinetic energy of a photoelectron depends only on the frequency of light (or energy). This shows that if the intensity of light is increased, it only increases the number of photons and not the energy of photons. Kinetic energy of photons can be increased by increasing the frequency of light or by increasing the energy of photon, which supports E = hv and, hence, the quantum nature of light. Hence, option (b) also supports the quantum nature of light.

Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface even if the metal surface is faintly illuminated; it means that less photons will interact with the electrons. However, few electrons absorb energy from the incident photons and come out from the metal. This shows the quantum nature of light. Hence, (c) also supports the quantum nature of light.

Electric charge of the photoelectrons is quantised; but this statement does not support the quantum nature of light.

Answer:

(d) It may come out with kinetic energy less than hv − φ.

When light is incident on the metal surface, the photons of light collide with the free electrons. In some cases, a photon can give all the energy to the free electron. If this energy is more then the work-function of the metal,then there are two possibilities. The electron can come out of the metal with kinetic energy hv − φ or it may lose energy on collision with the atoms of the metal and come out with kinetic energy less than hv − φ. Thus, it may come out with kinetic energy less than hv − φ.

If this energy is more then the work-function of the metal,then there are two possibilities. The electron can come out of the metal with kinetic energy hv − φ or it may lose energy on collision with the atoms of the metal and come out with kinetic energy less than hv − φ. Thus, it may come out with kinetic energy less than hv − φ.

Answer:

(b) photoelectric emission may or may not take place
(d) the stopping potential will decrease

For photoelectric effect to be observed, wavelength of incident light should not be more than the largest wavelength called threshold wavelength λ0. If the wavelength of light in an experiment on photoelectric effect is doubled and if it is equal to or less than the threshold wavelength, then photoelectric emission will take place. If it is greater than the threshold wavelength, photoelectric emission will not take place. The photoelectric emission may or may not take place.Photoelectric emission depends on the wavelength of incident light.

Hence, option (b) is correct and (a) is incorrect.

From Einstein's photoelectric equation,
eV0=hcλ0-φ,
where V0 = stopping potential
             λ0 = threshold wavelength
             h = Planck's constant
             φ = work-function of metal
It is clear that
V01λ0
Thus, if the wavelength of light in an experiment on photoelectric effect is doubled, its stopping potential will become half.

Answer:

(a) the intensity of the source is increased

When the intensity of the source is increased, the number of photons emitted from the source increases. As a result, a large number of electrons of the metal interact with these photons and hence, the number of electrons emitted from the metal increases. Thus, the photocurrent in an experiment of photoelectric effect increases. The photocurrent does not depend on the exposure time. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Question 6:

(a) the intensity of the source is increased

When the intensity of the source is increased, the number of photons emitted from the source increases.

Thus, the photocurrent in an experiment of photoelectric effect increases. The photocurrent does not depend on the exposure time. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Answer:

(b) The kinetic energy of the electrons will increase.

As there is no effect of electric field on the number of photons emitted, the photoelectric current will remain same. Hence, option (a) is incorrect.

When an electric field is applied, then electric force will act on the electron moving opposite the direction of electric field, which will increase the kinetic energy of the electron. Hence, option (b) is correct.

As the kinetic energy of the electron is increasing, its stopping potential will increase. Hence, option (c) is incorrect.

Threshold wavelength is the characteristic property of the metal and will not change. Hence, (d) is incorrect.

Answer:

(a) move with the same speed
(c) move with the same kinetic energy
(d) have fallen through the same height

Let m1 be the mass of the heavier particle and m2 be the mass of the lighter particle.
If both the particles are moving with the same speed v, de Broglie wavelength of the heavier particle,
λ1=hm1v   ...(1)
de Broglie wavelength of the lighter particle,
λ2=hm2v   ...(2)
Thus, from equations (1) and (2), we find that if the particles are moving with the same speed v, then λ1<λ2.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

If they are moving with the same linear momentum, then using the de Broglie relation
λ = hp
We find that both the bodies will have the same wavelength. Hence, option (b) is incorrect.

If K is the kinetic energy of both the particles, then de Broglie wavelength of the heavier particle,
λ1=h2m1K
de Broglie wavelength of the lighter particle,
λ2=h2m2K
It is clear from the above equation that if m1>m2, then λ1<λ2.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

When they have fallen through the same height h, then velocity of both the bodies,
v = 2gh
Now,
λ1=hm12gh
λ2=hm22gh
m1>m2
λ1<λ2
Hence, option (d) is correct.

Given:
Charge density of the metal plate, σ = 1.0 × 10−9 Cm−2
Work function of the cesium metal, φ = 1.9 eV
Wavelength of monochromatic light, λ = 400 nm = 400×10-9  m
Distance between the metal plates, d = 20 cm = 0.20 m
Electric potential due to a charged plate,
  V = E × d,
where E, the electric field due to the charged plate, is σε0 and
d is the separation between the plates.

Answer:

From Einstein's photoelectric equation,
eV0=hcλ-ϕV0=hcλ-ϕ1e
Here, V0 = stopping potential
            h = Planck's constant
            c = speed of light
            ϕ = work function

The particle will move in a circle when the stopping potential is equal to the potential due to the singly charged ion at that point so that the particle gets the required centripetal force for its circular motion.

Answer:

Given:
Wavelength of light beam, λ = 400 nm
Work function of metal plate, ϕ = 2.2 eV
Energy of the photon,
 E=hcλ,where h=Planck's constant           c=speed of lightE=1240400=3.1 eV

This energy will be supplied to the electrons.
Energy lost by the electron in the first collision
= 3.1 eV × 10%
= 0.31 eV

Now, the energy of the electron after the first collision = 3.1 - 0.31 = 2.79 eV

Energy lost by electron in the second collision
= 2.79 eV× 10%
= 0.279 eV
Total energy lost by the electron in two collisions
= 0.31 + 0.279 = 0.589 eV
Using Einstein's photoelectric equation, kinetic energy of the photoelectron when it comes out from the metal,
K=E-ϕ-energy lost due to collisions
= (3.1 − 2.2 − 0.589) eV
= 0.31 eV

(b) Similarly for the third collision, the energy lost = (2.79 - 0.279) eV × 10%
          = 0.2511 eV
Energy of the electron after the third collision = 2.790 - 0.2511 = 2.5389

Energy lost in the fourth collision = 2.5389 × 10%

Energy of the electron after the fourth collision = 2.5389 - 0.25389 = 2.28501

This value is very close to the work function of the metal plate. After the fifth collision, the energy of the electron becomes less than the work function of the metal.

Therefore, the electron can suffer maximum four collisions before it becomes unable to come out of the metal.
