A photoelectric cell is illuminated by a point source of light 1 m away. When the source is shifted to 2 m then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Number of electrons emitted is a quarter of the initial number

The correct answer is B (Number of electrons emitted is a quarter of the initial number) because the intensity of light, and therefore the number of emitted electrons, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

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

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
