According to photoelectric equation

K_{\max }=h v-\phi_0

, The photoelectric emission will not be possible if

I.

K_{\max}

is negative

II.

v_0 > v

III.

K_{\max}

is positive

IV.

v_0 < v

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

I and II

Option A (I and II) is correct because photoelectric emission is not possible when the maximum kinetic energy is negative or when the threshold frequency is greater than the incident frequency.

The electrons are emitted in the photoelectric effect from a metal surface What is the de Broglie wavelength of a bullet of mass 0.04 kg travelling at the speed of 1 km/s? Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface when UV light of wavelength

\lambda=300 \mathrm{~nm}

is incident on it. The minimum negative potential required to stop the emission of electrons is

0.54 \mathrm{~V}

. Calculate:
(i) the energy of the incident photons
(ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted. An electron is accelerated by a potential difference of V volt to acquire kinetic energy equal to maximum kinetic energy of ejected photoelectron from a metal of work function 3.2 eV, using a light of wavelength

2000\,\mathop \mathrm{A}\limits^ \circ \,

Value of V is Two monochromatic beams

A

and

B

of equal intensity

I

, hit a screen. The number of photons hitting the screen by beam

A

is twice that by beam

B

. Then, what can inference you about their frequencies? A 5 W source emits monochromatic light of wavelength

5000\mathop A\limits^ \circ

. When placed 0.5 m away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved to a distance of 1.0m, the number of photoelectrons liberated will be reduced by a factor of
