In a photoelectric experiment,the collector plate is at $2.0\,V$ with respect to the emitter plate made of copper $(\phi = 4.5\,eV)$. The emitter is illuminated by a source of monochromatic light of wavelength $200\,nm$.

  • A
    The minimum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector is $0$.
  • B
    The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector is $3.7\,eV$.
  • C
    If the polarity of the battery is reversed,then the answer to part $A$ will be $0$.
  • D
    If the polarity of the battery is reversed,then the answer to part $B$ will be $1.7\,eV$.

In a photoelectric experiment,light of energy $2.48 eV$ irradiates a photosensitive material. The stopping potential was measured to be $0.5 V$. The work function of the photosensitive material is: (in $eV$)

Radiation of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $100 \ W \ m^{-2}$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $2 \%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $2 \ cm^2$ of the surface per second is nearly:

When a photon of energy $4.0 \; eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy $T_{A} \; eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.50 \; eV$ is $T_{B} = (T_{A} - 1.5) \; eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is $\lambda_{B} = 2 \lambda_{A}$,then the work function of metal $B$ is ............. $eV$.
