The momentum of a photon of energy $$1\,MeV$$ in $$kg\,m/s,$$ will be
A
$$0.33 \times {10^6}$$
B
$$7 \times {10^{ - 24}}$$
C
$${10^{ - 22}}$$
D
$$5 \times {10^{ - 22}}$$
Answer :
$$5 \times {10^{ - 22}}$$
Energy of photon is given by
$$E = \frac{{hc}}{\lambda }\,\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
where $$h$$ is Planck's constant, $$c$$ the velocity of light and $$\lambda $$ its wavelength.
de-Broglie wavelength is given by
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
$$p$$ being momentum of photon.
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
$$E = \frac{{hc}}{{\frac{h}{p}}} = pc\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,p = \frac{E}{c}$$
Given, $$E = 1\,MeV = 1 \times {10^6} \times 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}J,$$
$$\eqalign{
& 1\,eV = 1.6 \times {10^{19}}J \cr
& c = 3 \times {10^8}m/s \cr} $$
Hence, after putting numerical values, we obtain
$$\eqalign{
& p = \frac{{1 \times {{10}^6} \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}{{3 \times {{10}^8}}}kg - m/s \cr
& = 5 \times {10^{ - 22}}\,kg - m/s \cr} $$

In a photoelectric emission, electrons are ejected from metal $$X$$ and $$Y$$ by light of frequency $$f.$$ The potential difference $$V$$ required to stop the electrons is measured for various frequencies. If $$Y$$ has a greater work function than $$X,$$ which graph illustrates the expected results?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
$$V$$ versus $$f$$ has a constant slope of $$\frac{h}{e},$$ so both lines must be parallel. Also, work function is equal to intercept on $$f$$-axis.

When the X-ray tube is operated at $$1\,kV,$$ then X-rays of minimum wavelength $$6.22\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ are produced. If the tube is operated at $$10\,kV,$$ then the minimum wavelength of x-rays will be

An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom
emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let $${\lambda _n},{\lambda _g}$$ be the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the $${n^{th}}$$ state and the ground state respectively. Let $${\Lambda _n}$$ be the wavelength of
the emitted photon in the transition from the $${n^{th}}$$ state to the ground state. For large $$n,$$ ($$A,\,B$$ are constants)
A
$${\Lambda _n} \approx A + \frac{B}{{\lambda _n^2}}$$
B
$${\Lambda _n} \approx A + B{\lambda _n}$$
C
$$\Lambda _n^2 \approx A + B\lambda _n^2$$
D
$$\Lambda _n^2 \approx \lambda $$
Answer :
$${\Lambda _n} \approx A + \frac{B}{{\lambda _n^2}}$$
Wavelength of emitted photon from $${n^{th}}$$ state to the ground state, $$\frac{1}{{{\Lambda _n}}} = R{Z^2}\left( {\frac{1}{{{1^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{n^2}}}} \right)$$
$${\Lambda _n} = \frac{1}{{R{Z^2}}}{\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{n^2}}}} \right)^{ - 1}}$$
Since $$n$$ is very large, using binomial theorem
$$\eqalign{
& {\Lambda _n} = \frac{1}{{R{Z^2}}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{{n^2}}}} \right) \cr
& {\Lambda _n} = \frac{1}{{R{Z^2}}} + \frac{1}{{R{Z^2}}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{n^2}}}} \right) \cr
& {\text{As we know, }}{\lambda _n} = \frac{{2\pi r}}{n} = 2\pi \left( {\frac{{{n^2}{h^2}}}{{4{\pi ^2}mZ{e^2}}}} \right)\frac{1}{n} \propto n \cr
& {\Lambda _n} \approx A + \frac{B}{{\lambda _n^2}} \cr} $$

A radio transmitter operates at a frequency $$880\,kHz$$ and a power of $$10\,kW.$$ The number of photons emitted per second is
A
$$1.72 \times {10^{31}}$$
B
$$1.327 \times {10^{25}}$$
C
$$1.327 \times {10^{37}}$$
D
$$1.327 \times {10^{45}}$$
Answer :
$$1.72 \times {10^{31}}$$
Power of radio transmitter $$= 10 kW$$
$$ = 10000\,W$$
Operating frequency of transmitter $$ = 880\,kHz = 880 \times {10^3}Hz$$
Number of photons emitted per second
$$\eqalign{
& n = \frac{P}{E} = \frac{P}{{h\nu }} \cr
& = \frac{{{{10}^4}}}{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 880 \times {{10}^3}}}\,\,\left[ {h = 6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}J{\text{ - }}s} \right] \cr
& = 1.72 \times {10^{31}} \cr} $$

Two identical non - relative particles $$A$$ and $$B$$ move at right angles to each other, processing de Broglie wavelengths $${\lambda _1}$$ and $${\lambda _2},$$ respectively. The de Broglie wavelength of each particle in their centre of mass frame of reference is
Let $$m$$ be the mass of each particle, then $${\lambda _1} = \left( {\frac{h}{{m{v_1}}}} \right)$$ and $${\lambda _2} = \left( {\frac{h}{{m{v_2}}}} \right),$$ where $${{v_1}}$$ and $${{v_2}}$$ are the velocities of two particles as shown in the figure.
$${{\vec v}_{CM}} = \frac{{m{{\vec v}_1} + m{{\vec v}_2}}}{{2m}} = \frac{{{{\vec v}_1} + {{\vec v}_2}}}{2}$$
Velocity of $$A$$ w.r.t. $$C$$ frame is
$$\eqalign{
& {{\vec v}_{1c}} = {{\vec v}_1} - {{\vec v}_{CM}} = \frac{{{{\vec v}_1} - {{\vec v}_2}}}{2} \cr
& \left| {{{\vec v}_{1c}}} \right| = \frac{{\sqrt {{{\vec v}_1} - {{\vec v}_2}} }}{2} = \left| {{{\vec v}_{2c}}} \right| \cr} $$
So, required wavelength is
$$\eqalign{
& \lambda = \frac{h}{{m\left| {{{\vec v}_{1c}}} \right|}} = \frac{h}{m} \times \frac{2}{{\frac{h}{m}\sqrt {\frac{1}{{\lambda _2^1}} + \frac{1}{{\lambda _2^2}}} }} \cr
& = \frac{{2{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}}}{{\sqrt {\lambda _1^2 + \lambda _2^2} }} \cr} $$

A certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $$\lambda .$$ The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this light is $$3\,{V_0}.$$ If the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $$2\lambda ,$$ the stopping potential is $${V_0}.$$ The threshold wavelength for this surface for photoelectric effect is
A
$$6\lambda $$
B
$$4\lambda $$
C
$$\frac{\lambda }{4}$$
D
$$\frac{\lambda }{6}$$
Answer :
$$4\lambda $$
From photoelectric equation
$$\eqalign{
& h\nu = W + e{V_0}\,\,\left( {{\text{where,}}\,W = {\text{work}}\,{\text{function}}} \right) \cr
& {\text{So}}\,\,\frac{{hC}}{\lambda } = W + 3e{V_0}\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& {\text{Also,}}\,\,\frac{{hC}}{{2\lambda }} = W + e{V_0} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{hC}}{\lambda } = 2W + 2e{V_0}\,.......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
$$0 = W - e{V_0} \Rightarrow W = e{V_0}$$
From Eq. (i),
$$\frac{{hc}}{\lambda } = e{V_0} + 3e{V_0} = 4e{V_0}$$
The threshold wavelength is given by
$${\lambda _{{\text{th}}}} = \frac{{hc}}{W} = \frac{{4e{V_0}\lambda }}{{e{V_0}}} = 4\lambda $$

A particle of mass $$1\,mg$$ has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity of $$3 \times {10^6}m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The velocity of the particle is (mass of electron $$ = 9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}}kg$$ )
A
$$2.7 \times {10^{ - 18}}m{s^{ - 1}}$$
B
$$9 \times {10^{ - 2}}m{s^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$3 \times {10^{ - 31}}m{s^{ - 1}}$$
D
$$2.7 \times {10^{ - 21}}m{s^{ - 1}}$$
Answer :
$$2.7 \times {10^{ - 18}}m{s^{ - 1}}$$
According to de-Broglie relation, wavelength of a particle is given by
$$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$$
where, $$h$$ is Planck's constant and wavelength of an electron is given by
$$\eqalign{
& {\lambda _e} = \frac{h}{{{p_e}}} \cr
& {\text{but}}\,\lambda = {\lambda _e},{\text{ so }}p = {p_e} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{m_e}{v_e} = mv \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,v = \frac{{{m_e}{v_e}}}{m} \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,\,{m_e} = 9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}}\;kg \cr
& {v_e} = 3 \times {10^6}\;m{s^{ - 1}} \cr
& {\text{and}}\,\,m = 1mg \cr
& = 1 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,kg \cr
& \therefore v = \frac{{9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}} \times 3 \times {{10}^6}}}{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} \cr
& = 2.7 \times {10^{ - 18}}\;m/s \cr} $$

A cylindrical rod of some laser material $$5 \times {10^{ - 2}}m$$ long and $${10^{ - 2}}m$$ in diameter contains $$2 \times {10^{25}}$$ ions per $${m^3}.$$ If on excitation all the ions are in the upper energy level and de-excite simultaneously emitting photons in the same direction, calculate the maximum energy contained in a pulse of radiation of wavelength $$6.6 \times {10^{ - 7}}m.$$ If the pulse lasts for $${10^{ - 7}}s.$$ the average power of the laser during the pulse is
A
$$532\,MW$$
B
$$352\,MW$$
C
$$235\,MW$$
D
$$325\,MW$$
Answer :
$$235\,MW$$
Total number of ions in the rod
$$\eqalign{
& N = \left( {2 \times {{10}^{25}}} \right) \times \left[ {\frac{\pi }{4} \times {{\left( {{{10}^{ - 2}}} \right)}^2}} \right] \times \left( {5 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right) \cr
& = 7.85 \times {10^{19}} \cr} $$
The energy of excitation
$$\eqalign{
& E = N \times \frac{{hc}}{\lambda } \cr
& = \left( {7.85 \times {{10}^{19}}} \right) \times \frac{{\left( {6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \right) \times \left( {3 \times {{10}^8}} \right)}}{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}} \cr
& = 23.55\,J \cr} $$
Average power $$P = \frac{E}{t} = \frac{{23.55}}{{{{10}^{ - 7}}}} = 23.55 \times {10^7}W = 235\,MW$$
