Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_1 - v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$
  • C
    $v_1 + v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $v_1^2 + v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$

Photoelectric emission occurs only when the incident light has more than a certain minimum

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $1.0 \ W/m^2$ is incident on a photosensitive surface. If only $1 \%$ of the incident photons emit photoelectrons,calculate the number of photoelectrons emitted per second from a surface area of $1 \ cm^2$.

Which of the following statements is correct in the case of the photoelectric effect?

$A$ copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\, eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\, \mathring{A}$. The effect of irradiation results in the emission of electrons from the ball. Further,the ball will acquire charge,and due to this,there will be a finite value of the potential on the ball. The charge acquired by the ball is:

$A$ photon released by the transition of an electron from the second excited state to the ground state of a Hydrogen atom is incident on the surface of a metal with a work function of $3.1 \ eV$. The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic electron emitted from that metal surface is nearly:
