At an instant, two electrons enter normally with same speed

{v}

, one into region of uniform electric field and other into uniform magnetic field. After some time, if de Broglie wavelength of two electrons respectively are

\lambda_1

and

\lambda_2

then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\lambda_1 < \lambda_2

Option C is correct because the speed of the electron in the electric field increases, decreasing its de Broglie wavelength, while the speed in the magnetic field remains constant.

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

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
