$A$ photon of $1.7 \times 10^{-13} \ J$ is absorbed by a material under special circumstances. The correct statement is:

  • A
    Electrons of the atom of the absorbed material will go to higher energy states.
  • B
    Electron and positron pair will be created.
  • C
    Only positron will be produced.
  • D
    Photoelectric effect will occur and an electron will be produced.

An electric bulb of $100 \ W$ power emits photons of wavelength $410 \ nm$ per second. The number of photons emitted per second is: $(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$

The wavelength of a photon is $5000 \mathring A$. Its energy will be:

Assertion: The energy $(E)$ and momentum $(p)$ of a photon are related by $p = E/c$.
Reason: The photon behaves like a particle.

An electron and a proton are detected in a cosmic ray experiment,the first with kinetic energy $10 \; keV$,and the second with $100 \; keV$. Which is faster,the electron or the proton? Obtain the ratio of their speeds. (Electron mass $= 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \; kg$,proton mass $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \; kg$,$1 \; eV = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \; J$)
