Find the number of photons emitted per second from a source of light which results in a photocurrent with drift velocity of $1.5 \ m/s$ in a conductor with cross-section area $0.25 \ m^2$ and volume density of electrons $10^{20} \ m^{-3}$. (Assume that $60\%$ of photons emitted result in electron emission).

  • A
    $6.25 \times 10^{19}$
  • B

Assertion: If the speed of a charged particle increases,both the mass and the charge increase.
Reason: If $m_0$ is the rest mass and $m$ is the mass at velocity $v$,then $m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$,where $c$ is the speed of light.

An electron is moving through a field. It is moving $(i)$ opposite to an electric field and $(ii)$ perpendicular to a magnetic field as shown. For each situation,determine the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron.
