A metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths $$248\,nm$$ and $$310\,nm.$$ The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are $${u_1}$$ and $${u_2},$$ respectively. If the ratio $${u_1}:{u_2} = 2:1$$ and $$hc = 1240\,eV\,nm$$ the work function of the metal is nearly
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{hC}}{{{\lambda _1}}} - W = \frac{1}{2}mu_1^2 \cr
& {\text{and }}\frac{{hC}}{{{\lambda _2}}} - W = \frac{1}{2}mu_2^2 \cr} $$
Dividing the above two equations, we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\frac{{hC}}{{{\lambda _1}}} - W}}{{\frac{{hC}}{{{\lambda _2}}} - W}} = \frac{{u_1^2}}{{u_2^2}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{\frac{{1240}}{{248}} - W}}{{\frac{{1240}}{{310}} - W}} = \frac{4}{1} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{1240}}{{248}} - W = \frac{{4 \times 1240}}{{310}} - 4W \cr
& \therefore W = 3.7eV \cr} $$

The intensity of X-rays from a Coolidge tube is plotted
against wavelength $$\lambda $$ as shown in the figure. The minimum wavelength found is $${\lambda _C}$$ and the wavelength of the $${K_\alpha }$$ line is $${\lambda _K}.$$ As the accelerating voltage is increased
KEY CONCEPT :
In case of Coolidge tube
$${\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{hc}}{{eV}} = \lambda \left( {{\text{as}}\,{\text{given}}\,{\text{here}}} \right)$$
Thus the cut off wavelength is inversely proportional to accelerating voltage. As $$V$$ increases, $${\lambda _c}$$ decreases. $${\lambda _k}$$ is the wavelength of $${K_ \propto }$$ line which is a characteristic of an atom and does not depend on accelerating voltage of bombarding electron since $${\lambda _k}$$ always refers to a photon wavelength of transition of $${e^ - }$$ from the target element from $$2 \to 1.$$
The above two facts lead to the conclusion that $${\lambda _k} - {\lambda _c}$$ increases as accelerating voltage is increased.

Which one of the following statements is WRONG in the context of X-rays generated from a X-ray tube?
A
Wavelength of characteristic X-rays decreases when the atomic number of the target increases.
B
Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target
C
Intensity of the characteristic X-rays depends on the electrical power given to the X-ray tube
D
Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the energy of the electrons in the X-ray tube
Answer :
Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target
The continuous spectrum depends on the accelerating voltage. It has a definite minimum wavelength.
Greater the accelerating voltage for electrons, higher will be the kinetic energy it attains before striking the target, higher will be the frequency of X - rays and smaller will be the wavelength. The wavelength of continuous X - rays is independent of the atomic number of target material.

A pulse of light of duration $$100\,ns$$ is absorbed completely by a small object initially at rest. Power of the pulse is $$30\,mW$$ and the speed of light is $$3 \times {10^8}m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The final momentum of the object is

The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is $$5k\,V$$ and
the current through it is 3.2$$mA.$$ Then the number of electrons striking the target per second is

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $$50\,MHz$$ travels in free space along the positive $$x$$-direction. At a particular point in space and time, $$\vec E = 6.3\hat j\,V/m.$$ The corresponding magnetic field $${\vec B},$$ at that point will be:
As we know,
$$\left| B \right| = \frac{{\left| E \right|}}{C} = \frac{{6.3}}{{3 \times {{10}^8}}} = 2.1 \times {10^{ - 8}}T$$
As $$\vec V \bot \vec E \bot \vec B$$ therefore direction of is in z direction
$$\vec B = 2.1 \times {10^{ - 8}}\hat kT$$

A photon collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state inelastically. Energy of the colliding photon is $$10.2\,eV.$$ After a time interval of the order of micro second another photon collides with same hydrogen atom inelastically with an energy of $$15\,eV.$$ What will be observed by the detector?
A
One photon of energy $$10.2\,eV$$ and an electron of energy $$1.4\,eV$$
B
2 photon of energy of $$1.4\,eV$$
C
2 photon of energy $$10.2\,eV$$
D
One photon of energy $$10.2\,eV$$ and another photon of $$14\,eV$$
Answer :
One photon of energy $$10.2\,eV$$ and an electron of energy $$1.4\,eV$$
Initially a photon of energy $$10.2\,eV$$ collides inelastically with a hydrogen atom in ground state. For hydrogen atom,
$$\eqalign{
& {E_1} = - 13.6\,eV;\,{E_2} = - \frac{{13.6}}{4}\,eV = - 3.4\,eV \cr
& \therefore {E_2} - {E_1} = 10.2\,eV \cr} $$
The electron of hydrogen atom will jump to second orbit after absorbing the photon of energy $$10.2\,eV.$$ The electron jumps back to its original state in less than microsecond and release a photon of energy $$10.2\,eV.$$ Another photon of energy $$15\,eV$$ strikes the hydrogen atom inelastically. This energy is sufficient to knock out the electron from the atom as ionisation energy is $$13.6\,eV.$$ The remaining energy of $$1.4\,eV$$ is left with electron as its kinetic energy.
