21.Statement -1 : When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $${V_0}$$ and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $${K_{\max }}.$$ When the ultraviolet light is replaced by X-rays, both $${V_0}$$ and $${K_{\max }}$$ increase. Statement -2 : Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
A
Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is true ; Statement -2 is the correct explanation of Statement -1.
B
Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is true; Statement -2 is not the correct explanation of Statement -1
C
Statement -1 is false, Statement -2 is true.
D
Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is false.
Answer :
Statement -1 is true, Statement -2 is false.
We know that
$$e{V_0} = {K_{\max }} = h\nu - \phi $$
where, $$\phi $$ is the work function.
Hence, as $$\nu $$ increases (note that frequency of X-rays is greater than that of U.V. rays), both $${V_0}$$ and $${K_{\max }}$$ increase. So statement - 1 is correct

Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $${f_1}$$ and $${f_2}.$$ If the velocites of the photo electrons (of mass $$m$$) coming out are respectively $${v_1}$$ and $${v_2},$$ then
A
$$v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{{2h}}{m}\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} \right)$$
For one photocathode
$$h{f_1} - W = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
For another photo cathode
$$h{f_2} - W = \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Subtracting (ii) from (i) we get
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {h{f_1} - W} \right) - \left( {h{f_2} - W} \right) = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 \cr
& \therefore h\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} \right) = \frac{m}{2}\left( {v_1^2 - v_2^2} \right) \cr
& \therefore v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{{2h}}{m}\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} \right) \cr} $$

If $${\lambda _{Cu}}$$ is the wavelength of $${K_\alpha }$$ X-ray line of copper (atomic number 29) and $${\lambda _{Mo}}$$ is the wavelength of the $${K_\alpha }$$ X-ray line of molybdenum (atomic number 42), then the ratio $$\frac{{{\lambda _{Cu}}}}{{{\lambda _{Mo}}}}$$ is close to

The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from
a surface when photons of energy $$6\,eV$$ fall on it is $$4\,eV.$$ The stopping potential, in volt, is
Note:
Stopping potential is the negative potential applied to stop the electrons having maximum kinetic energy. Therefore, stopping potential will be $$4\,volt.$$

An electron beam is accelerated by a potential difference $$V$$ to hit a metallic target to produce X-rays. It produces continuous as well as characteristic X-rays. If $${\lambda _{\min }}$$ is the smallest possible wavelength of X-ray in the spectrum, the variation of log $${\lambda _{\min }}$$ with log $$V$$ is correctly represented in :
The cut off wavelength is given by
$${\lambda _0} = \frac{{hc}}{{eV}}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
According to de Broglie equation
$$\eqalign{
& \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2meV} }} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\lambda ^2} = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{2meV}} \Rightarrow V = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{2me{\lambda ^2}}}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From (i) and (ii),
$${\lambda _0} = \frac{{hc \times 2me{\lambda ^2}}}{{e{h^2}}} = \frac{{2mc{\lambda ^2}}}{h}$$
27.
A photocell is illuminated by a small bright source placed $$1 m$$ away. When the same source of light is placed $$\frac{1}{2}m$$ away, the number of electrons emitted by photocathode would
$$\eqalign{
& I \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}};\frac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{4} \cr
& {I_2} \to 4\,{\text{times}}\,{I_1} \cr} $$
When intensity becomes 4 times, no. of photoelectrons emitted would increase by 4 times, since number of electrons emitted per second is directly proportional to intensity.

Sodium and copper have work functions $$2.3\,eV$$ and $$4.5\,eV$$ respectively. Then the ratio of the wavelengths is nearest to
The ionisation potential increases from left to right in a
period and decreases from top to bottom in a group.
Therefore ceasium will have the lowest ionisation potential.

Electrons with energy $$80\,keV$$ are incident on the tungsten target of an X-ray tube. $$K$$-shell electrons of tungsten have $$72.5\,keV$$ energy. X-rays emitted by the tube contain only
A
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a
minimum wavelength of $$0.155\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$
B
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with all wavelengths
C
the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten
D
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a
minimum wavelength of $$0.155\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.
Answer :
a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a
minimum wavelength of $$0.155\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.
KEY CONCEPT :
$$\eqalign{
& {\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{hc}}{E} \cr
& \therefore {\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{12400}}{{80 \times {{10}^3}}}\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ = 0.155\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ \cr} $$
Energy of incident electrons is greater than the ionization energy of electrons in $$K$$-shell, the $$K$$-shell electrons will be knocked off. Hence, characteristic X-ray spectrum will be obtained.
