The photoelectric work function of a metal is $1 \ eV$. Light of wavelength $\lambda = 3000 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident on it. What will be the velocity of the emitted photoelectrons?

Difficult
View Solution

With reference to the observations in photoelectric effect,identify the correct statements from below:
$A.$ The square of maximum velocity of photoelectrons varies linearly with frequency of incident light.
$B.$ The value of saturation current increases on moving the source of light away from the metal surface.
$C.$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons decreases on decreasing the power of $LED$ (light emitting diode) source of light.
$D.$ The immediate emission of photoelectrons out of metal surface can not be explained by particle nature of light/electromagnetic waves.
$E.$ Existence of threshold wavelength can not be explained by wave nature of light/electromagnetic waves.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

$A$ beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity $6.4 \times 10^{-5} \; W/cm^{2}$ is comprised of wavelength $\lambda = 310 \; nm$. It falls normally on a metal surface (work function $\varphi = 2 \; eV$) of surface area $1 \; cm^{2}$. If one in $10^{3}$ photons ejects an electron, the total number of electrons ejected in $1 \; s$ is $10^{x}$. Then $x$ is: $(hc = 1240 \; eV \cdot nm, 1 \; eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; J)$

Find the correct statement$(s)$ about the photoelectric effect.
