Electrons of mass $$m$$ with de-Broglie wavelength $$\lambda $$ fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength $$\left( {{\lambda _0}} \right)$$ of the emitted X-ray is
A
$${\lambda _0} = \frac{{2mc{\lambda ^2}}}{h}$$
B
$${\lambda _0} = \frac{{2h}}{{mc}}$$
C
$${\lambda _0} = \frac{{2{m^2}{c^2}{\lambda ^3}}}{{{h^2}}}$$
Cut-off wavelength occurs when incoming electron looses its complete energy in collision. This energy appears in the form of X-rays.
Given, mass of electrons = $$m$$
de-Broglie wavelength = $$\lambda $$
So, kinetic energy of electron $$ = \frac{{{p^2}}}{{2m}}$$
$$ = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{h}{\lambda }} \right)}^2}}}{{2m}} = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{2m{\lambda ^2}}}$$
Now, maximum energy of photon can be given by
$$\eqalign{
& E = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _0}}} = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{2m{\lambda ^2}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\lambda _0} = \frac{{hc \times 2{\lambda ^2}.m}}{{{h^2}}} \cr
& = \frac{{2mc{\lambda ^2}}}{h} \cr} $$

A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, $$h\,{v_0}.$$ If photons of energy $$2\,h\,{v_0},$$ fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of $$4 \times {10^6}m/s.$$ When the photon energy is increased to $$5\,h{v_0},$$ then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be
Thermionic emission is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from the metal surface when heated suitably. Here, the energy required for the emission of electrons from metal surface is being supplied by thermal energy. The emitted electrons are called thermal electrons or thermions.

Electromagnetic radiation falls on a metallic body whose work function is $$2\,eV.$$ For a particular radiation of frequency $$v,$$ the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is found to be $$4\,eV.$$ What would be the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron for the radiation of frequency $$\frac{{5v}}{3}$$ ?
(A) Stopping potential is the negative potential applied to stop the photoelectrons from the metal. Stopping potential is given by $$e{V_0} = {K_{\max }}$$
Since, maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons does not depend on intensity of light, so stopping potential does not vary with intensity of light. Thus, choice (A) is not correct.
(B) If intensity of incident light is increased, we can say that the number of photons incident per unit area per unit time will be increased. Therefore, more electrons will be emitted per second. Hence, photo-current increases. Thus, choice (B) is correct.
(C) The photo-current does not depend on frequency of light. Thus, choice (C) is not correct.
(D) The photo-current does not depend on applied voltage. Thus, choice (D) is not correct.

A proton and a deuteron are accelerated through the same accelerating potential. Which one of the two has greater value of de-Broglie wavelength associated with it, and less momentum?
de-Broglie wavelength of a charged particle is given by, $$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt {mq} }}$$
If $${m_p}$$ and $$e$$ are mass and charge of a proton respectively,
and, $${m_D}$$ and $$e$$ are mass and charge of a deutron respectively, then
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{\lambda _p}}}{{{\lambda _D}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_D}{q_D}}}{{{m_p}{q_p}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{\left( {2{m_p}} \right)\left( e \right)}}{{\left( {{m_p}} \right)\left( e \right)}}} = \sqrt 2 \cr
& {\lambda _p} = \sqrt 2 {\lambda _D} \cr} $$
Momentum, is given by, $$P = \frac{h}{\lambda }\,\,{\text{or,}}\,\,p \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }$$
where, $$h$$ = plank's constant
Since the wavelength of a proton is more than that of deutron thus, the momentum of a proton is lesser than that of deutron. Hence, the momentum of proton is less.

The figure shows a plot of photocurrent versus anode potential for a photo sensitive surface for three different radiations. Which one of the following is a correct statement ?
A
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities
B
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities
C
Curves $$b$$ and $$c$$ represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities
D
Curves $$b$$ and $$c$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency having same intensity
Answer :
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities
Since in the graph retarding potential is same in graph (a) and (b) and photo current is different so, for curves they have same frequency but different intensity of light.

The photoelectric work function for a metal surface is $$4.125\,eV.$$ The cut-off wavelength for this surface is
The minimum wavelength below which no photoelectron can emit from metal surface is called cut-off wavelength or threshold wavelength and is given by
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Work function}} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\text{cut - off wavelength}}}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{\text{cut - off wavelength}} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\text{work}}\,{\text{function}}}} \cr
& \therefore {\lambda _0} = \frac{{hc}}{{{W_0}}}\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& {\text{Given,}}\,h = 6.6 \times {10^{ - 34}}\,J - s \cr
& c = 3 \times {10^8}m/s \cr
& {W_0} = 4.125\,eV \cr
& = 4.125 \times 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,J \cr} $$
Substituting the given values in Eq. (i), we get
$$\eqalign{
& {\lambda _0} = \frac{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{4.125 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ \cr
& = 3 \times {10^{ - 7}}m \cr
& = 3000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ \cr} $$

The threshold frequency for photoelectric effect on sodium corresponds to a wavelength of $$5000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ .$$ Its work function is
When a photon of light of frequency $$\nu $$ incident on a photosensitive metal surface, the energy of the photon $$\left( {h\nu } \right)$$ is spent in two ways. A part of energy of photon is used in liberating the electron from the metal surface which is equal to the work function $${W_0}$$ of the metal.
$${W_0} = h{\nu _0}$$
(where, $${{\nu _0}}$$ is threshold frequency)
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{or}}\,\,{W_0} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _0}}} \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,\,{\lambda _0} = 5000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ \cr
& = 5000 \times {10^{ - 10}}m \cr
& \therefore {W_0} = \frac{{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{5000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}}}} \cr
& = 4 \times {10^{ - 19}}J \cr} $$ NOTE
Threshold frequency $$\left( {{\nu _0}} \right) \to $$ It is the minimum frequency given to metallic surface so that emission of electrons start.
