A light source emits photons of energy \( 3.0 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \) at a rate of \( 4.0 \times 10^{15} \) photons per second. What is the power emitted?
Power \( P = N \times E \).
\( P = 4.0 \times 10^{15} \times 3.0 \times 10^{-19} = 1.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{W} = 1.2 \, \text{mW} \).
A particle of mass \( 1.0 \times 10^{-28} \, \text{kg} \) has the same momentum as a photon of wavelength \( 600 \, \text{nm} \). What is its speed? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \))
Photon momentum \( p = \frac{h}{\lambda} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{600 \times 10^{-9}} = 1.105 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg m/s} \).
For particle, \( p = m v \Rightarrow v = \frac{p}{m} = \frac{1.105 \times 10^{-27}}{1.0 \times 10^{-28}} = 1.105 \times 10^1 = 11.05 \, \text{m/s} \).
The stopping potential for photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface is \( 1.2 \, \text{V} \). What is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons in joules? (Take \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
Maximum kinetic energy \( K_{\max} = e V_0 \).
\( K_{\max} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.2 = 1.92 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
In the photoelectric effect, what does the saturation current depend on, assuming a fixed frequency above the threshold?
Saturation current depends on the intensity of light, as it determines the number of photons and thus the number of photoelectrons emitted per second.
A light source emits \( 5.0 \times 10^{15} \) photons per second with a power of \( 2.0 \, \text{mW} \). What is the energy of each photon in joules?
\( E = \frac{P}{N} = \frac{2.0 \times 10^{-3}}{5.0 \times 10^{15}} = 4.0 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
A light source emits \( 3.0 \times 10^{16} \) photons per second with a power of \( 9.0 \, \text{mW} \). What is the wavelength of the light? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \))
\( E = \frac{P}{N} = \frac{9.0 \times 10^{-3}}{3.0 \times 10^{16}} = 3.0 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( \lambda = \frac{h c}{E} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{3.0 \times 10^{-19}} = 6.63 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} = 663 \, \text{nm} \).
The maximum frequency of X-rays from a \( 35 \, \text{kV} \) tube is: (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
\( E = e V = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 35 \times 10^3 = 5.6 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{J} \).
\( v_{\max} = \frac{E}{h} = \frac{5.6 \times 10^{-15}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 8.446 \times 10^{18} \, \text{Hz} \).
The threshold frequency of a metal is \( 6.0 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \). What is its work function in eV? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( 1 \, \text{eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \))
\( \phi_0 = h v_0 = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 6.0 \times 10^{14} = 3.978 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
\( \phi_0 = \frac{3.978 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 2.486 \, \text{eV} \).
The minimum wavelength of X-rays from a \( 15 \, \text{kV} \) tube is: (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \), \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \))
\( E = e V = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 15 \times 10^3 = 2.4 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{J} \).
\( \lambda_{\min} = \frac{h c}{E} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{2.4 \times 10^{-15}} \approx 8.2875 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m} = 0.082875 \, \text{nm} \).
The work function of a metal is \( 2.0 \, \text{eV} \). What is the threshold frequency for photoelectric emission from this metal? (Take \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} \), \( 1 \, \text{eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \))
Work function \( \phi_0 = 2.0 \, \text{eV} = 2.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
Threshold frequency \( v_0 = \frac{\phi_0}{h} = \frac{3.2 \times 10^{-19}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 4.83 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \).
