Electrons with energy $$80\,keV$$ are incident on the tungsten target of an X-ray tube. $$K$$-shell electrons of tungsten have $$72.5\,keV$$ energy. X-rays emitted by the tube contain only
A
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of $$0.155\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$
B
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with all wavelengths
C
the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten
D
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of $$0.155\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.
Answer :
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of $$0.155\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.
$$\eqalign{
& {\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{hc}}{E} \cr
& \therefore {\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{12400}}{{80 \times {{10}^3}}}\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ = 0.155\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ \cr} $$
Energy of incident electrons is greater than the ionization energy of electrons in $$K$$-shell, the $$K$$-shell electrons will be knocked off. Hence, characteristic X-ray spectrum will be obtained.

In photoelectric emission process from a metal of work function $$1.8\,eV,$$ the kinetic energy of most energetic electrons is $$0.5\,eV.$$ The corresponding stopping potential is
A
$$1.3\,V$$
B
$$0.5\,V$$
C
$$2.3\,V$$
D
$$1.8\,V$$
Answer :
$$0.5\,V$$
As we know that stopping potential gives the maximum $$KE$$ of ejected electrons, so
$$\eqalign{
& K{E_{\max }} = e{V_0} \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,\,1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}} \times {V_0} = 0.5 \times 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {V_0} = 0.5\,V \cr} $$
13.
The cathode of a photoelectric cell is changed such that the work function changes from $${W_1}$$ to $${W_2}\left( {{W_2} > {W_1}} \right).$$ If the current before and after changes are $${I_1}$$ and $${I_2},$$ all other conditions remaining unchanged, then (assuming $$hv > {W_2}$$ )
A
$${I_1} = {I_2}$$
B
$${I_1} < {I_2}$$
C
$${I_1} > {I_2}$$
D
$${I_1} < {I_2} < 2{I_1}$$
Answer :
$${I_1} = {I_2}$$
The work function has no effect on photoelectric current so long as $$hv > {W_0}.$$ The photoelectric current is proportional to the intensity of incident light. Since there is no change in the intensity of light, hence $${I_1} = {I_2}.$$
14.
For photoelectric emission from certain metal, the cut-off frequency is $$\nu .$$ If radiation of frequency $$2\nu $$ impinges on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electron will be ($$m$$ is the electron mass)
A
$$\sqrt {\frac{{h\nu }}{{\left( {2m} \right)}}} $$
15.
An electron of mass $$'m'$$ and charge $$'e'$$ initially at rest gets accelerated by a constant electric field $$E.$$ The rate of change of de-Broglie wavelength of this electron at time $$t,$$ ignoring relativistic effects is :
A
$$\frac{{ - h}}{{eE{t^2}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{ - eht}}{E}$$
C
$$\frac{{ - mh}}{{eE{t^2}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{ - h}}{{eE}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{ - h}}{{eE{t^2}}}$$
Acceleration, $$a = \frac{{Ee}}{m}.$$
Velocity of electron, $$v = at = \frac{{Eet}}{m}.$$
Wavelength, $$\lambda = \frac{h}{{mv}} = \frac{h}{{Eet}}.$$
Now $$\frac{{d\lambda }}{{dt}} = - \frac{h}{{eE{t^2}}}.$$
16.
The de-Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature $$T$$ (Kelvin) and mass $$m,$$ is
A
$$\frac{h}{{\sqrt {mkT} }}$$
B
$$\frac{h}{{\sqrt {3mkT} }}$$
C
$$\frac{{2h}}{{\sqrt {3mkT} }}$$
D
$$\frac{{2h}}{{\sqrt {mkT} }}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{h}{{\sqrt {3mkT} }}$$
de-Broglie wavelength associated with a moving particle can be given as
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{{2h}}{{\sqrt {2m\left( {KE} \right)} }}$$
At thermal equilibrium, temperature of neutron and heavy water will be same.
This common temperature is given as, $$T.$$
Also, we know that, kinetic energy of a particle
$$KE = \frac{{{p^2}}}{{2m}}$$
where, $$p =$$ momentum of the particle
$$m =$$ mass of the particle
Kinetic energy of the neutron is
$$KE = \frac{3}{2}kT$$
∴ De-Broglie wavelength of the neutron
$$\eqalign{
& \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2m\left( {KE} \right)} }} \cr
& = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2m \times \frac{3}{2}kT} }} \cr
& = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {3mkT} }} \cr} $$
17.
A photon of frequency $$f$$ causes the emission of a photoelectron of maximum kinetic energy $${E_k}$$ from a metal. If a photon of frequency $$3f$$ is incident on the same metal, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron
A
equals $${3E_k}$$
B
is greater than $${3E_k}$$
C
is less than $${3E_k}$$
D
may be equal to, less than or, greater than $${3E_k}$$
Answer :
is greater than $${3E_k}$$
We write Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect,
$$\eqalign{
& hf - W = {E_K}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& 3hf - W = {{E'}_K}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From (i) and (ii), we get,
$${{E'}_K} - 3{E_K} = 2W > 0.$$
18.
The de-Broglie wave corresponding to a particle of mass $$m$$ and velocity $$v$$ has a wavelength associated with it
A
$$\frac{h}{{mv}}$$
B
$$hmv$$
C
$$\frac{{mh}}{v}$$
D
$$\frac{m}{{hv}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{h}{{mv}}$$
According to de-Broglie, a moving particle sometimes acts as a wave and sometimes as a particle. The wave associated with moving particle is called matter wave or de-Broglie wave whose wavelength is called de-Broglie wavelength and it is given by
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{{mv}}$$
where, $$m$$ and $$v$$ are the mass and velocity of the particle and $$h$$ is Planck's constant.

A $$200\,W$$ sodium street lamp emits yellow light of wavelength $$0.6\,\mu m.$$ Assuming it to be $$25\% $$ efficient in converting electrical energy to light, the number of photons of yellow light it emits per second is
A
$$1.5 \times {10^{20}}$$
B
$$6 \times {10^{18}}$$
C
$$62 \times {10^{20}}$$
D
$$3 \times {10^{19}}$$
Answer :
$$1.5 \times {10^{20}}$$
Give that, only $$25\% $$ of $$200\,W$$ converter 2 electrical energy into light of yellow colour
$$\left( {\frac{{hc}}{\lambda }} \right) \times N = 200 \times \frac{{25}}{{100}}$$
Where $$N$$ is the No. of photons emitted per second,
$$h = $$ plank’s constant, $$c = $$ speed of light.
$$\eqalign{
& N = \frac{{200 \times 25}}{{100}} \times \frac{\lambda }{{hc}} \cr
& = \frac{{200 \times 25 \times 0.6 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{100 \times 6.2 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}} \cr
& = 1.5 \times {10^{20}} \cr} $$

Find the frequency of light which ejects electrons from a metal surface fully stopped by a retarding potential of $$3\,V.$$ The Photoelectric effect begin in this metal at frequency of $$6 \times {10^{14}}$$ per second.
A
$$1.32 \times {10^{15}}\,Hz$$
B
$$3.28 \times {10^{14}}\,Hz$$
C
$$6.22 \times {10^{15}}\,Hz$$
D
$$2.22 \times {10^{11}}\,Hz$$
Answer :
$$1.32 \times {10^{15}}\,Hz$$
The work function of the metal
$$\eqalign{
& {W_0} = h{f_0} = \left( {6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \right) \times \left( {6 \times {{10}^{14}}} \right) \cr
& = 3.98 \times {10^{19}}J \cr} $$
If $$f$$ is the frequency of the light, then
$$\eqalign{
& hf = {W_0} + e{V_0} \cr
& \therefore f = \frac{{{W_0} + e{V_0}}}{h} \cr
& = \frac{{3.98 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} + 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times 3}}{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}}} \cr
& = 1.32 \times {10^{15}}\,Hz \cr} $$
