(i) In the explanations of photoelectric effect, we assume one photon of frequency `nu` collides with an electron and transfer its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy `E_(max)` of the emitted electron as `E_(max)=hnu-phi_(0)` Where `phi_(0)` is the work function of the metal. if an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency v) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron? (ii) Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?

Answer» Here it is given that, an electron absorbs 2 photons each of frequency v then v = 2v where, v is the frequency of emitted electron.
Given, `" "E_(max)=hv-phi_(0)`
Now, maximum energy for emitted electrons is
`" "E_(max)=h(2v)-phi_(0)-2hv-phi_(0)`
(ii) The probability of absorbing 2 photons by the same electron is very low. Hence, such emission will be negligible.

Consider figure. Suppose the voltage applied to A is increased. The diffracted beam will have the maximum at a value of `theta` that A. will be larger than the earlier valueB. will be the same as the earlier valueC. will be less than the earlier valueD. will depend on the target

Answer» In Davisson-Germer experiment the de-Broglie wavelength associated with electron is
`" "lamda=(12.27)/(sqrtV)Å`
where V is the applied valtage.
If there is a maxima of the diffracted electrons at an angle `theta,` then
`" "2dsintheta=lamda`
From Eq. (i). we note that if V is inversely proportional to the wavelength `lamda.` i.e., V will increase with the decrease in the `lamda.`
From eq. (ii), we note that wavelength `lamda` is directly proportional to `sintheta` and hence `theta.` So, with the decrease in `lamda,theta` will also decreases.
Thus, when the voltage applied to A is increased. The diffracted beam will have the maximum at a value of `theta` that will be less than the earlier value.

Consider the fundamental physics for class XII. Suppose the voltage applied to A is increased. The diffracted beam will have the maximum at a value of `theta` thatA. will be larger then that earlier valueB. will be the same as the earlier valueC. will be less than the earlier valueD. will depend on the target

Answer» Correct Answer - c
In Davisson and Germer Experiment, if V is the voltage applied to anode, then de-Broglie wavelength associated with electron is
`lambda=12.27/(sqrt(V))Å.......(i)`
If there is a maxima of the diffracted electrons at an angle `theta`, then `2d sin theta=lambda.........(ii)`
From (ii), we note that as `lambda` decreases, the value of `sin theta` decreases, i.e., `theta` decreases.

If the wavelength of light incident on a photoelectric cell be reduced from `4000Å` to `3600Å`, then what will be the change in the cut off potential? `(h=6.6xx10^(-34)Js , e=1.6xx10^(-19)C)`

Answer» Let `phi_0` be the work function of the surface of the photoelectric cell to be exposed by light. Maximum KE of emitted photoelectron will be
`K_(max)=(hc)/lambda-phi_0`
If the `V_0` is the cut off potential, then

When the incident light of wavelength `lambda_1` be changed to wavelength `lambda_(2)`, then the change (increase) in cut off potential will be
`DeltaV_0=((hc)/(elambda_2)-(phi_0)/e)-((hc)/(elambda_1)-(phi_0)/e)`
`=(hc)/e (1/(lambda_1)-1/(lambda_1))`
`=((6.6xx10^(-34))xx(3xx10^8))/((1.6xx10^(-19)))[(10^(10))/3600-(10^(10))/4000]`

Many public building have doors that open automatically as people approach. What is the basic concept involved in it?

Answer» The automatic opening of the doors in a building is often operated by "electric eyes". On the door of a public bulding, a light beam from a strong source of light shines across the door opening on to a photo voltaic cell. It causes the ejection of electrons, resulting in photoelectric current in the circuit which keeps the door closed. When some person approaches the door for entering into the building, the light beams is prevented from falling on photovotaic cell. Due to it, the current stops in the cell circuit. A mechanism is triggered that opens the door automatically.

Why photographer use red light and not blue light while developing the exposed films?

Answer» The energy of red light photon is lower than that of blue light photon, i.e., the energy of red light is less than that of the blue light. Therefore, the red light can not cause a chemical change in the exposed film whereas blue light can. That is why the red light is used by photographers while developing the exposed films.

"Know your face beauty through complexion meter" was one of the stall on a science exhibition. A student interested to know his/her face beauty was made to stand on a platform and light from a lamp was made to fall on his/her face. The reading of complexion meter indicated the face beauty of the student which might be very fair, fair, semifair, semidark and dark, etc. Read abve passage and answer the following questions:(i) What is the basic concept used in the working of complexion meter? (ii) How is the face beauty recorded by face complexion meter? (iii) What basic values do you learn from the above study?

Answer» (i) The basic concept used in the working of complexion meter is photoelectric effects.
(ii) The reading of complexion meter depends on the current generated from the reflected from the face. Fairer the coulor more is the light reflected and vice versa.
(iii) Complexion meters judge your face beauty only. The inner beauty of a person is judged by the virtues he or she possesess. In may opinion, inner beauty is much more valuable than the face beauty.

A modern 200 W sodium street lamp emits yellow light of wavelength 0.6 `mum`. Assuming it to be 25% efficient in converting electrical energy to light, the number of photons of yellow light it emits per second isA. `3 xx 10^(19)`B. `1.5 xx 10^(20)`C. `6 xx 10^(18)`D. `62 xx 10^(20)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Energy of a photon ` = (hc )/(lambda)`
The number of photons emitted per second ` = (N)/(t)`
Hence power emitted `p = (N)/(t) ((hc)/(lambda))`
It is given that sodium lamp has `25%` efficient in converting electricial energy to light energy emitted
`P = 200 xx (25)/(100) = 50 W = 50 J//sec`
No. of photons `(N)/(t) = (P lambda)/(lambda)`
