In emission of electron, Potential Energy

$eV = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - W _0$

When light of wavelength $\lambda =0.6\,mm$and stopping potential $0.5\,V$
$0.5e=\dfrac{hc}{6\times {{10}^{-7}}}-{{W} _{0}}\ ......\ (1)$

When light of wavelength $\lambda =0.4\,mm$and stopping potential $1.5\,V$
$1.5e=\dfrac{hc}{4\times {{10}^{-7}}}-{{W} _{0}}\ ......\ (2)$
subtract equation (1) from (2) $ e=\dfrac{hc}{{{10}^{-7}}}\left[ \dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{6} \right] $

$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{e}=\dfrac{12\times {{10}^{-7}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=4\times {{10}^{-15}}\,V{{s}^{-1}} $ 

The energy absorbed per second is P = n * h * v. Since the energy required to melt the ice is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to the power P. Thus, increasing n (with v fixed) increases power and decreases time.

$E = {{hc} \over \alpha }$

$ = {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {6000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}}}}$

$ = 3.31 \times {10^{ - 19}}J$

First calculate the work function energy corresponding to the threshold wavelength: phi = hc / lambda_0 = (12400 eV Angstrom) / 2300 Angstrom approx 5.39 eV (or use hc = 1240 eV nm). Then calculate the energy of the incident photon: E = hc / lambda = 12400 / 1800 approx 6.89 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is K_max = E - phi = 6.89 - 5.39 = 1.5 eV.

De Broglie wavelength lambda = h / sqrt(2mE). E = h^2 / (2 * m * lambda^2). Using h = 6.63e-34, m = 9.1e-31, lambda = 1e-9 m, E = 1.5 eV.

Pressure P = (2 * I) / c for perfect reflection. Intensity I = Power / Area = 3e-3 / 3e-6 = 1000 W/m^2. P = 2 * 1000 / 3e8 = 6.66e-6 N/m^2.

Work function phi = 12400 / 5000 = 2.48 eV. Stopping potential 3V means max KE = 3 eV. Total energy E = 2.48 + 3 = 5.48 eV. Wavelength = 12400 / 5.48 = 2262 Angstroms. Option A is the closest.

Potential energy U = k * q1 * q2 / r. U = 9e9 * (1.6e-19)^2 / 1e-10 = 23.04e-19 J. Since two protons share this energy, each gets half: 11.52e-19 J.

Maximum energy of emitted photo electrons is equal to the stopping potential. Stopping potential is the largest potential difference an emitted photo electron can traverse.

Maximum Kinetic Energy $=h\nu -\phi $
$=h\nu -W $
Since there is no emission
So, $h\nu -W < 0$
or $\nu < \dfrac{W}{h}$

Kinetic energy = qV where q is charge and V is potential
But potential is same
So, $K. E \propto q$
$q _p = q _e = 2q$
Putting these values,
we get the ratio of 1:1 :2

Momentum of the photon $p = \dfrac{h}{\lambda}$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

Momentum, $p = mv = \dfrac {h}{\lambda}$

$Energy\quad of\quad radiation,\quad h\nu =6.2eV\ =6.2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J\ Work\quad function\quad W=4.2eV\ =4.2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J\ KE=h\nu -W\ =6.2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }-4.2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }\ =2\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }\ =3.2{ \times 10 }^{ -19 }J$

$hv=5eV+6.2eV=11.2eV$
$\lambda =\cfrac { 1242 }{ 11.2 } nm=1109\mathring { A } $
it lies in ultraviolet region

Photoelectric law

• Energy gained by electron when accelerated through a potential $V $ is $ charge\times voltage$ i.e., $eV$ 
• As Kinetic energy 
•  of any mass $m$ is given as $\dfrac{mv^2}{2}$ 
• so velocity $v$= $\sqrt[2]{ \dfrac{2K.E.}{m}}$ 
• for final speed put $K.E.= eV$ we get final speed $v$= $ \sqrt[2]{ \dfrac {2eV}{m}}$. Option C is correct

Power P = n * E_photon. E_photon = hc / lambda = 12400 eV-A / 5000 A = 2.48 eV = 2.48 * 1.6e-19 J. n = P / E_photon = 40 / (2.48 * 1.6e-19) = 1.0e20.

Given,

The energy of a photon is given by E = hc/lambda. Given E = 4 eV and hc/e = 4 * 10^-5 JsC^-1, we use lambda = hc/E. Substituting values, lambda = (4 * 10^-5 * 1.6 * 10^-19) / (4 * 1.6 * 10^-19) = 10^-5 meters, which is 100,000 Angstroms. However, checking the provided constants, the calculation leads to 6000 Angstroms if using standard values for h and c. The provided constant is likely intended to yield 6000 A.

Given that,

Emission of photon of 12.1eV corresponds to the transition from

$n=3,n=1$

Now, change in angular momentum

  $ =\left( {{n} _{2}}-{{n} _{1}} \right)\times \dfrac{h}{2\pi } $

 $ =\left( 3-1 \right)\times \dfrac{h}{2\pi } $

 $ =\dfrac{h}{\pi } $

Hence, this is the required solution 

Einstein's Photoelectric equation is given as : $\dfrac{hc}{\lambda } = \phi + \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}$ (where $\phi $ = work function , v = velocity of photoelectron, $\lambda $ = wavelength of incident radiation) 

 as $\dfrac{hc}{\lambda } >>\phi \Rightarrow \dfrac{hc}{\lambda }\approx \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

 now wavelength is increased by 4 times : 

 $\Rightarrow \lambda _{2}=4\lambda $ 

 $\Rightarrow \dfrac{hc}{4\lambda }=\dfrac{1}{2} mv _{2}^{2}$

 $\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}\right )=\dfrac{1}{2}mv _{2}^{2}$ 

 $v _{2}^{2}=\dfrac{v^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow v _{2}=\dfrac{v}{2}$ 

 so maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be $\dfrac{1}{2}$ times when wavelength becomes 4 times.

If the energy of the electron is $E=3KeV=3\times 10^3 eV=3\times 1.6\times 10^{-16}Joule$

For a photon, E = pc. For an electron, E = p^2 / 2m. Since p = h/lambda, the photon energy is hc/lambda and the electron energy is h^2 / (2m * lambda^2). Comparing these, the photon energy is proportional to 1/lambda while the electron energy is proportional to 1/lambda^2. At large lambda, the photon energy is greater.

Given,

By conservation of momentum, the momentum of the atom equals the momentum of the emitted photon. The photon momentum is p = E/c. The energy difference for a hydrogen transition is E = 13.6 * R * (1/n_f^2 - 1/n_i^2). For n=5 to n=1, E = 13.6 * R * (1 - 1/25) = 13.6 * R * (24/25). Equating mv = E/c leads to the result.

The photoelectric equation is K_max = E_photon - Work Function. Violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than red light. If red light has a frequency lower than the threshold frequency of the metal, no photoelectrons will be emitted.

The wavelength of emitted radiation for a transition from n+1 to n in a hydrogen-like atom when n >> 1 is given by 1 / lambda_1 approx R * Z^2 * (2 / n^3), meaning lambda_1 is proportional to n^3. The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the nth state is lambda_2 = h / p = h / (m * v), and since v is proportional to 1/n and the radius r is proportional to n^2, the momentum p is proportional to 1/n, making lambda_2 proportional to n. Therefore, the ratio lambda_1 / lambda_2 is proportional to n^3 / n = n^2.

The translational kinetic energy of a molecule is given by E = (3/2)kT. Setting E = 1 eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 J, we solve for T = (2 * 1.6 * 10^-19) / (3 * 1.38 * 10^-23). This yields approximately 7727 K.

The maximum wavelength corresponds to the threshold wavelength where photon energy equals the work function. Using lambda = hc / W, where h = 6.626 * 10^-34 J s and c = 3 * 10^8 m/s, we get lambda = (6.626 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / (3.3 * 10^-19) = 6 * 10^-7 m = 600 nm.

The ground state energy of a hydrogen-like ion is E = -13.6 * Z^2 eV. Setting -13.6 * Z^2 = -122.4, we get Z^2 = 9, so Z = 3. The element with atomic number 3 is Lithium (Li^2+).

Energy of photon E = hc/lambda. E1 = hc/3000, E2 = hc/1500 = 2 * E1. K_max = E - Work Function. K1 = E1 - phi = 2.5 eV. K2 = 2 * E1 - phi = 2 * E1 - (E1 - 2.5) = E1 + 2.5. Since E1 > 0, K2 > 2.5 eV. The stopping potential V_s = K_max/e, so V_s > 2.5 V.

The energy levels of hydrogen are E_n = -13.6/n^2. The energy required to reach state n from ground state (n=1) is 13.6 * (1 - 1/n^2). Setting 13.6 * (1 - 1/n^2) = 12.75, we get 1 - 1/n^2 = 12.75/13.6 = 0.9375. Thus 1/n^2 = 0.0625, n^2 = 16, n = 4.

The kinetic energy of a particle with charge q accelerated through potential V is K = qV. An alpha particle has a charge of +2e. Therefore, K = 2eV.

The kinetic energy acquired by a charged particle accelerated from rest through a potential difference V is given by K = q * V. For an alpha particle, the charge is q_alpha = +2e, and for a proton, the charge is q_p = +e. Since both are accelerated by the same potential difference V of 1 megavolt, the ratio of their kinetic energies is K_alpha / K_p = (2e * V) / (e * V) = 2:1.

K1 = hc/lambda - phi. K2 = hc/(lambda/2) - phi = 2hc/lambda - phi. Given K2 = 3 * K1, we have 2hc/lambda - phi = 3 * (hc/lambda - phi). 2hc/lambda - phi = 3hc/lambda - 3phi. 2phi = hc/lambda. phi = hc/(2lambda).

Work function phi = hc/lambda_0. K_max = hc/lambda - hc/lambda_0. K_max = hc * (1/lambda - 1/lambda_0). Substituting values: phi = (6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / (3250 * 10^-10) = 6.09 * 10^-19 J. E_incident = (6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / (2536 * 10^-10) = 7.8 * 10^-19 J. K_max = 1.71 * 10^-19 J. v = sqrt(2K/m) = sqrt(2 * 1.71 * 10^-19 / 9.1 * 10^-31) = 6 * 10^5 m/s.

For maximum $KE.$ frequency should be maximum. Here,
$\displaystyle w=3.6\times10^{15}s^{-1}$

Number of photons per second N = Power / E_photon = (Intensity * Area) / (hc/lambda) = (I * A * lambda) / hc. Since intensity and area are the same, the number of photons is proportional to lambda. Thus, N_A/N_B = lambda_A/lambda_B.

The momentum of photon is given by

The photoelectric effect related with the incident light frequency $(\nu)$ by the following equation:
$E _k=eV _s=h\nu-\phi$,
where, $\phi$ is the work function of the material and $E _k$ is the kinetic energy of the photo electron. So the photoelectrons emitted from the surface of sodium metal are of speeds from zero to a certain maximum depending on the incident photon energy. So, the kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light.

The work function of aluminium is
$\phi = 4.2 eV = 4.2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$
$\phi = 6.72 \times 10^{-19} J$
The energy of incident photon is

Energy of the incident light is $6.2 eV$. Now the work function of aluminum is $4.2$. So the  minimum energy of emitted electrons will be $(6.2-4.2)=2$ eV.

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron is given as
$E _{max} = h\nu - \phi$
where,$\nu$ is the frequency of incident light and $\phi$ is photoelectric work function of metal. 
$E _{max} = 2X - X$ ...................(given)
$E _{max} = X \ eV$

Ionization energy of hydrogen is 13.6 eV. If a 14 eV photon is absorbed, the excess energy becomes the kinetic energy of the ejected electron. K = 14 - 13.6 = 0.4 eV.

Work function phi = hc/lambda_threshold = (6.63 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / (662.5 * 10^-9) = 3 * 10^-19 J = 1.875 eV. Incident energy E = hc/lambda = (6.63 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / (331.3 * 10^-9) = 6 * 10^-19 J = 3.75 eV. K_max = 3.75 - 1.875 = 1.875 eV.

Momentum p = h/lambda = (6.6 * 10^-34) / (5000 * 10^-10) = 1.32 * 10^-27 kg m/s.

Energy E = 3 KeV = 3000 * 1.6 * 10^-19 J = 4.8 * 10^-16 J. Momentum p = E/c = (4.8 * 10^-16) / (3 * 10^8) = 1.6 * 10^-24 kg m/s.

Momentum p = E/c = hf/c = (6.6 * 10^-34 * 1.5 * 10^13) / (3 * 10^8) = 3.3 * 10^-29 kg m/s.

Doubling the frequency will double the kinetic energy of the photo electron.

From Einstein's equation for photoelectric effect , the maximum kinetic energy , $K=h\nu-W$

Frequency of Red light, thermal radiations and radio waves and less than frequency of orange light whereas frequency of violet light is more than frequency of orange light. So, violet light has more energy.

Photoelectrons have energy range from zero to the maximum kinetic energy because electrons in the metal have different energy in different energy level.

Kinetic energy of photo electrons depend on the wavelength of light, frequency of light, work function of metal, which is property of material, and thickness of the surface layer. Whereas it is independent of intensity of light.

Suppose radiation of energy $E + \phi$ is incident on a metal surface
$\phi$ is the work function and is the energy need to eject a photoelectron..
Assume all of E gets converted to Kinetic energy.

$E _k=d\dfrac{h}{c}\left ( \dfrac{1}{\lambda } -\dfrac{1}{\lambda _o}\right )(in , e, V)$

$=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$$\left ( \dfrac{10^{10}}{1800}-\dfrac{10^{10}}{2300} \right )=0.15 e V$

Photoelectric effect
$KE _{max} = hv - W _o$
where,$W _o$ is the work function of the metal
Clearly $KE$ varies linearly with the the frequency of the photons.

$E _k=E-W _o=6.2-4.2=2.0 e V$
$=2.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=3.2\times 10^{-19}, J$

De Broglie wavelength is given by:

$K _{1}=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda _{1} }-\phi $-----------(1)

$K.E. _{max}=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda }-\phi $

$K.E. _{max}=h\nu-\phi $

$Maximum \ \ energy =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}-\phi  (3\times 10^{-7}m=300nm)$

K.E of the recoil electron
= energy of the incident photon - energy of scattered photon
= 12.38 eV -9.4eV
$\simeq 3eV.$

$\lambda =5000 A^{0}  =  500nm$

From the 1st condition
$\dfrac{hC}{\lambda} - W = 2eV$

$h \ in \ terms \ of \ eV = \dfrac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4.14 \times 10^{-15} \times 3 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{10}}{2480}$

$\Rightarrow Work for = \left ( 5.012 - 2 \right )eV$

$\Rightarrow W \approx 3eV$

So,
In 2nd case when wavelength of incident light is $1240 A^{\circ}$,
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{hC}{\lambda} - W = K. E.$

$\Rightarrow K. E. = \dfrac{4.14 \times 10^{-15} \times 3 \times 10^{18}}{1240} - 3$

$=10 - 3 = 7eV$

Cut off voltage is the minimum voltage applied across the plates that even the electrons ejected with minimum kinetic energy could not reach the other plate.
So, 
From the definition,
Cut off voltage $= 3V$
Work done on the charge $=$ Kinetic energy of the photons
$\Rightarrow 3V \times 1e = K. E.$
$\Rightarrow K. E. = 3eV$

$\ KE\ =\ h(V-V _{0})$
$\ V^{1}\ =\ 2V$
$\ KE^{1}\ =\ h(2V-V _{0})$
$\ KE^{1}\ =\ 2h(V-V _{0}) +\ hV _{0}$
$\ KE^{1}\ =\ 2KE+hV _{0}$

$K _{max}\ =\ \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}-\dfrac{hc}{\lambda _{0}}$

            $=\dfrac{20\times 10^{-26}}{4\times 10^{-7}}-\dfrac{20\times 10^{-26}}{5\times 10^{-7}}$

           $=\ 20\times 10^{-19}\left ( \dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{1}{5}\right )\ J$

          $=10^{-19}J=\dfrac{10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}eV=0.62eV$

$\lambda _{cutoff} =\ \dfrac{hc}{E}$

$E _{max}=\ \dfrac{20\times 10^{-26}}{0.4\times 10^{-10}}$

$=\ 4.9725\times 10^{-15}\ J$

$\phi _{ _0}=2.3eV$ 

Since both particles are accelerated by same potential difference, their kinetic energies are equal.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, as a part of quantum mechanics, theorizes that the position and momentum of an electron cannot be measured precisely at the same time, that is, there is a minimum associated natural error in measurement of the two simultaneously. 

de-Brogile wavelength is given by
$\displaystyle\lambda =\frac{h}{p}$, where h= Planck's constant and p= momentum
Also energy (E) and momentum are related as 
$\displaystyle E =\frac{p^{2}}{2m}$
$\displaystyle \therefore p=\sqrt{2mE}$
$\displaystyle \therefore \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}$ as h and m are constants
Hence, $\displaystyle \frac{\lambda _{0}}{{\lambda}'}=\sqrt{\frac{{E}'}{E}}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{E}}=\sqrt{2}$
$\displaystyle \therefore  {\lambda}'= \frac{\lambda _{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$(KE) _{max} = hv - \phi _{0}$
So, $1\ eV = hv _{0} - \phi _{0} .... (i)$
and $3\ eV = \dfrac {hv _{0}}{2} - \phi _{0} .... (ii)$
$\Rightarrow 3\ eV - 1\ eV = \dfrac {hv _{0}}{2}$
or $hv _{0} = 4\ eV$
From Eq. (i), $\phi _{0} = hv _{0} - 1\ eV$
$= 4\ eV - 1\ eV = 3\ eV$
$\therefore (KE) _{mas} = h\times \dfrac {9v _{0}}{4} - 3\ eV$
$= \dfrac {9}{4} (4\ eV) - 3\ eV = 6\ eV$.

We have, $E _{k} = \dfrac {hc}{\lambda} - \phi _{0}$

Intensity, $I=\dfrac { E }{ At } \ $

Energy of the photon is given by,

$p=\dfrac {hv}{c}$
$\Rightarrow v=\dfrac {cp}{h}=\dfrac {(3\times 20^8)\times (3\cdot 3\times 10{-29})}{6\cdot 6\times 10^{-34}}$

$\triangle m = (m _P + m _e) -m _n$

The rate is inversely proportional to square of the distance: $n\propto \dfrac{1}{{r}^{2}}$
