The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is \( 0.5 \, \text{eV} \) when light of frequency \( 6.0 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) is used. What is the threshold frequency? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \))
\( E = h v = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 6.0 \times 10^{14} = 3.978 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( E = \frac{3.978 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 2.486 \, \text{eV} \).
\( \phi_0 = E - K_{\max} = 2.486 - 0.5 = 1.986 \, \text{eV} \).
\( v_0 = \frac{\phi_0}{h} = \frac{1.986 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 4.79 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \).
A light source emits \( 1.0 \times 10^{16} \) photons per second with a power of \( 4.0 \, \text{mW} \). What is the wavelength of the light? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \))
Energy per photon \( E = \frac{P}{N} = \frac{4.0 \times 10^{-3}}{1.0 \times 10^{16}} = 4.0 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( E = \frac{h c}{\lambda} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{h c}{E} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{4.0 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 4.9725 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} = 497.25 \, \text{nm} \).
In the context of matter waves, what property of a moving particle is inversely proportional to its de Broglie wavelength?
The de Broglie wavelength is \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \), where \( p \) (momentum) is inversely proportional to \( \lambda \).
Which of the following is a characteristic of the photoelectric effect that the classical wave theory fails to explain?
The existence of a threshold frequency, below which no emission occurs regardless of intensity, contradicts the wave theory’s continuous energy absorption model.
The work function of a metal is \( 1.8 \, \text{eV} \). What is the threshold frequency for this metal? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( 1 \, \text{eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \))
\( \phi_0 = 1.8 \, \text{eV} = 1.8 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 2.88 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( v_0 = \frac{\phi_0}{h} = \frac{2.88 \times 10^{-19}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 4.34 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \).
The de Broglie wavelength of a particle of mass \( 3.0 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{kg} \) moving at \( 1.0 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \) is:
\( p = m v = 3.0 \times 10^{-30} \times 1.0 \times 10^6 = 3.0 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{kg m/s} \).
\( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{3.0 \times 10^{-24}} = 2.21 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 0.221 \, \text{nm} \).
An electron is accelerated through \( 50 \, \text{V} \). What is its de Broglie wavelength? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \), \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
\( K = e V = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 50 = 8.0 \times 10^{-18} \, \text{J} \).
\( p = \sqrt{2 m K} = \sqrt{2 \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \times 8.0 \times 10^{-18}} \approx 3.816 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{kg m/s} \).
\( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{3.816 \times 10^{-24}} \approx 1.737 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 0.1737 \, \text{nm} \).
The work function of a metal is \( 3.0 \, \text{eV} \). Light of frequency \( 8.0 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) is incident on it. What is the stopping potential? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
\( E = h v = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 8.0 \times 10^{14} = 5.304 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( E = \frac{5.304 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 3.315 \, \text{eV} \).
\( K_{\max} = E - \phi_0 = 3.315 - 3.0 = 0.315 \, \text{eV} \).
\( V_0 = \frac{K_{\max}}{e} = 0.315 \, \text{V} \).
A \( 30 \, \text{kV} \) X-ray tube produces X-rays. What is the minimum wavelength of the emitted X-rays? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \), \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
Energy \( E = e V = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 30 \times 10^3 = 4.8 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{J} \).
\( \lambda_{\min} = \frac{h c}{E} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{4.8 \times 10^{-15}} \approx 4.14 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} = 0.0414 \, \text{nm} \).
Light of wavelength \( 300 \, \text{nm} \) produces a stopping potential of \( 1.5 \, \text{V} \). What is the work function of the metal in eV? (Take \( h c = 1240 \, \text{eV nm} \))
\( E = \frac{h c}{\lambda} = \frac{1240}{300} \approx 4.13 \, \text{eV} \).
\( K_{\max} = e V_0 = 1.5 \, \text{eV} \).
\( \phi_0 = E - K_{\max} = 4.13 - 1.5 = 2.63 \, \text{eV} \).
