An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $$V$$ volt. It has a wavelength $$\lambda $$ associated with it. Through what potential difference an electron must be accelerated so that its de Broglie wavelength is the same as that of a proton? Take mass of proton to be 1837 times larger than the mass of electron.

A photoelectric cell is illuminated by a point source of light $$1\,m$$ away. When the source is shifted to $$2\,m$$ then
A
number of electrons emitted is a quarter of the initial number
B
each emitted electron carries one quarter of the initial energy
C
number of electrons emitted is half the initial number
D
each emitted electron carries half the initial energy
Answer :
number of electrons emitted is a quarter of the initial number
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Power}} \propto {\text{No}}{\text{. of}}\,{\text{electrons emitted}}\,\left( N \right) \cr
& P \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}} \Rightarrow N \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}} \cr} $$

The following particles are moving with the same velocity, then maximum de-Broglie wavelength will be for
A
proton
B
$$\alpha $$-particle
C
neutron
D
$$\beta $$-particle
Answer :
$$\beta $$-particle
de-Broglie wavelength is given by
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{{mv}}$$
For same velocity, $$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{m}$$
Out of the given particles, the mass of $$\beta $$-particle which is a fast moving electron, is minimum. Thus, de-Broglie wavelength is maximum for $$\beta $$-particle.

A photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $$\lambda $$ and $$\frac{\lambda }{2}.$$ If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is 3 times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is
($$h$$ = Planck’s constant, $$c$$ = speed of light)
A
$$\frac{{hc}}{{2\lambda }}$$
B
$$\frac{{hc}}{\lambda }$$
C
$$\frac{{2hc}}{\lambda }$$
D
$$\frac{{hc}}{{3\lambda }}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{hc}}{{2\lambda }}$$
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,
$$E = {K_{\max }} + \phi $$
where, $${K_{\max }}$$ is maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron and $$\phi $$ is work function of an electron.
$$\eqalign{
& {K_{\max }} = E - \phi = hv - \phi \cr
& {K_{\max }} = \frac{{hc}}{\lambda } - \phi \,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
Similarly, in second case, maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron is 3 times that in first case, we get
$$3{K_{\max }} = \frac{{hc}}{{\frac{\lambda }{2}}} - \phi \,.......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get work function of an emitted electron from a metal surface.
$$\phi = \frac{{hc}}{{2\lambda }}$$

Which of the following figures represents the variation of particle momentum and the associated de-Broglie wavelength?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
According to De-broglie $$p = \frac{h}{\lambda }{\text{ or}}\,\,P = \frac{1}{\lambda }$$
$$P \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }$$ represents rectangular hyperbola.

A proton has kinetic energy $$E = 100\,keV$$ which is equal to that of a photon. The wavelength of photon is $${\lambda _2}$$ and that of proton is $${\lambda _1}.$$ The ration of $$\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}$$ is proportional to

An atom emits a photon of wavelength $$\lambda = 600\,nm$$ by transition from an excited state of life time $$8 \times {10^{ - 9}}s.$$ If $${\Delta v}$$ represents the minimum uncertainty in the frequency of the photon, the fractional width $$\frac{{\Delta v}}{v}$$ of the spectral line is of the order of

When the minimum wavelength of X-rays is $$2\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ then the applied potential difference between cathode and anticathode will be

The ratio of energies of X-rays of the wavelength $$0.01\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and $$0.5\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ will be
100.
Gases begin to conduct electricity at low pressure, because
A
at low pressures gases turn to plasma
B
colliding electrons can acquire higher kinetic energy due to increased mean free path leading to ionisation of atoms
C
atoms break up into electrons and protons
D
the electrons in atoms can move freely at low pressures
Answer :
colliding electrons can acquire higher kinetic energy due to increased mean free path leading to ionisation of atoms
At low pressures, the density of the gas decreases, the mean free path of the gas molecules becomes large. Now, under the effect of external high voltage, the ions acquire sufficient energy before they collide with molecules, causing further ionisation. Due to it, the number of ions in the gas increases and it becomes a conductor.
