A particle A with a mass `m_(A)` is moving with a velocity v and hits a particle B (mass `m_(B)`) at rest (one dimensional motion). Find the change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle A. Treat the collision as elastic.

Answer» As collision is elastic, hence laws of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy are obeyed.
According to law of conservation of momentum,
`" "1/2m_(A)v^(2)=1/2m_(A)v_(1)^(2)+1/2m_(B)v_(2)^(2)`
`implies" "m_(A)(v-v_(1))-m_(B)v_(2)`
According to law of conservation of kinetic energy,
`" "1/2m_(A)v^(2)=1/2m_(A)v_(1)^(2)+1/2m_(B)v_(2)^(2)`
`implies" "m_(A)(v-v_(1)^(2))=m_(B)v_(2)^(2)`
`implies" "m_(A)(v-v_(1))(v+v_(1))=m_(B)v_(2)`
Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i)
we get, `" "v+v_(1)=v_(2)orv=v_(2)-v_(1)`
Solving Eqs (i) and (iii), we get
`" "v_(1)=((m_(A)-m_(B))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))vand v_(2)=((2m_(A))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))v`
`" "lamda_("initial")=h/(m_(A)v)`
`" "lamda_("final")=h/(m_(A)v_(1))=(h(m_(A)+m_(B)))/(m_(A)(m_(A)-m_(B))v)`
`" "Deltalamda=lamda_("final")-lamda_("initial")=(h)/(m_(A)v)[(m_(A)+m_(B))/(m_(A)-m_(B))-1]`

A particle A with a mass `m_(A)` is moving with a velocity v and hits a particle B (mass `m_(B)`) at rest (one dimensional motion). Find the change the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle A. Treat the collision as elastic.

Answer» As collision is elastic, hence laws of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy are obeyed. According to law of conservation of momentum
`m_(A)v+m_(B)0=m_(A)v_(1)+m_(B)v_(2) or m_(A)(v-v_(1))=m_(B)v_(2).......(i)`
According to law of conservation of kinetic energy
`1/2m_(A)v^(2)=1/2m_(A)v_(1)^(2)+1/2m_(B)v_(2)^(2) or m_(A)(v^(2)-v_(1)^(2))=m_(B)v_(2)^(2)`
or `m_(A)(v-v_(1))(v-v_(1))=m_(B)v_(2)^(2).........(ii)`
Dividing (ii) by (i), we get `v+v_(1)=v_(2) or v=v_(2)-v_(1)...(iii)`
Solving (i) and (iii), we get `v_(1)=((m_(A)-m_(B))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))v` and `v_(2)=((2m_(A))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))v`
`lambda_("initial")=h/(m_(A)v), lambda_("final")=h/(m_(A)v_(1))=(h(m_(A)+m_(B)))/(m_(A)(m_(A)-m_(B))v)`
`:. Deltalambda=lambda_("final")-lambda_("initial")=h/(m_(A)v)[((m_(A)-m_(B)))/((m_(A)-m_(B)))-1]`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
(c ) : According to law of conservation of momentum
`m_(A)^(v)+m_(B)xx0m_(A)v_(A)+m_(B)v_(B)`
or `m_(A)(v-v_(A))=m_(B)v_(B)` . . .(i)
According to law of conservation of kinetic energy
`(1)/(2)m_(A)v^(2)=(1)/(2)m_(A)^(2)+(1)/(2)m_(B)v_(B)^(2)`
or `m_(A)(v^(2)-v_(A)^(2))=m_(B)v_(B)^(2)`
or `m_(A)(v-v_(A))(v+v_(A))=m_(B)v_(B)^(2)`
or `m_(A)(v-v_(A))(v+v_(A))=m_(B)v_(B)^(2)` . . . (ii)
Dividing (ii) by (i), we get
`v+v_(A)=v_(B) or v=v_(B)-v_(A)` . . . (iii)
Solving (i) and (iii), we get
`v_(A)=((m_(A)-m_(B))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))v and v_(B)=((2m_(A))/(m_(A)+m_(B)))v`
`lamda_("initial")=(h)/(m_(A)v) and lamda_("final")=(h)/(m_(A)v_(A))=(h(m_(A)+m_(B)))/(m_(A)(m_(A)-m_(B))v)`

`lambda=h/(mv)=(6.63xx10^(-34))/((9.11xx10^(-31))xx(5.4xx10^6))=0.135xx10^-9m =0.135nm`
(b) For a ball , `m=150g=150xx10^-3kg, v=30.0ms^-1`
`lambda=h/(mv)=(6.63xx10^(-34))/((150xx10^-3)xx30.0)=1.47xx10^(-34)m`

Answer» Given, `v =7.21xx10^(14) Hz, m = 9.1xx10^(-31)kg, upsilon_("max")=6xx10^(5)m//s`
`KE_("max")=(1)/(2)m upsilon_("max")^(2)= hv-hv_(0)= h(v-v_(0))`

Answer» Correct Answer - `.105xx10^(6)ms^(-1)`
Here, `lambda_(0)=195nm=195xx10^(-9)m`,
`lambda=131xx10^(-9)m`
`1/2mv_(max)^(2)=(hc)/lambda-(hc)/(lambda_(0))`
`=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(131xx10^(-9))-(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(195xx10^(-9))`
`=0.152xx10^(-17)-0.102xx10^(-17)J`
`v_(max)=[2/mxx0.050xx10^(-17)]^(1//2)`
`=[2/(9.1xx10^(-31))xx0.050xx10^(-17)]^(1//2)`
`=1.05xx10^(6)ms^(-1)`

i.e., `m_pv_p=m_ev_e` or `(v_p)/(v_e)=(m_e)/(m_p) lt 1`
or `v_p lt v_e`
If `lambda` is constant, the form (ii), `Kprop1//m`
`(K_p)/(K_e)=(m_e)/(m_p) lt 1` or `K_p lt K_e`
It means the velocity of electron is greater than that of proton. Kinetic energy of electron is greater than that of proton.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength `2271Å` from a 100W mercury souce irradiates a photocell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is 1.3V, estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photocell respond to a high intensity `(~10^(5)Wm^(-2))` red light of wave length `6328Å` produced by a He-Ne laser?

Answer» Here, `lambda=2271Å=2271xx10^(-10)m, V_(0)=1.3V, phi_(0)=?`
we know, `eV_(0)=hv-phi_(0) or phi_(0)=hv-eV_(0)=(hc)/lambda-eV_(0) = (6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(2271xx10^(-10))-1.6xx10^(-19)xx1.3`
`phi_(0)=6.7xx10^(-19)J= (6.7xx10^(-19))/(1.6xx10^(-19))eV=4.2 eV`
If `V_(0)` is the frequency, then `hv_(0) =(phi_(0))/h=(6.7xx10^(-19))/(6.63xx10^(-34)) =1.0xx10^(15)Hz`
For red light, `lambda_(r)=6328Å=6238xx10^(-10)m`.
we have, frequency `v_(r)=c/(lambda_(r))=(3xx10^(8))/(6238xx10^(-10))=4.74xx10^(14)Hz`.
Since, `v_(r) lt v_(0)`, therefore, the photocell will not respond to this red light, however strong its intensity may be.

For iron lamp, `lambda=427.2nm =427.2xx10^(-9)m`,
`:. eV_(0)=(hc)/lambda-phi_(0)`
`=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(427.2xx10^(-9))-2.236xx10^(-19)`
`=4.649xx10^(-19)-2.236xx10^(-19)J=2.413xx10^(-19)J`
