MAX MARKS 35: TIME ALLOWED: 1.5 HR


1. Explain how does (i) photoelectric current and (ii) kinetic energy of the photo
electrons emitted in a photocell vary if the frequency of incident radiation is
doubled but keeping the intensity same. Show the graphical variation in the two
cases.
2. If light of wavelength 412.5 nm is incident on each of the metal given below,
which ones will show photoelectric emission and why?

Na 1.92
K 2.15
Ca 3.20
Mo 4.17
3. A deuteron and a proton are accelerated through the same potential. Which one
of the two has
i. Greatest value of de Broglie wavelength
ii. Less momentum?
Justify your answer.
4. (i) Define the term ‘intensity of radiation’ in terms of photon picture of light.

be the ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted electrons in the two
cases?

emitted is 2.0 ×10–3 W. (a) What is the energy of a photon in the light beam? (b)
How many photons per second, on an average, are emitted by the source?
10. Consider a metal exposed to light of wavelength 600 nm. The maximum energy
of the electron doubles when light of wavelength 400 nm is used. Find the work
function in eV.
11. An electromagnetic wave of wavelength 𝜆 is incident on a photosensitive surface
of negligible work function. If the photoelectrons emitted from this surface have
the de-Broglie wavelength 𝜆 , prove that 2𝑚𝑐

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 12 to 16.

de-Broglie Wavelength According to de-Broglie, a moving material particle


sometimes acts as a wave and sometimes as a particle or a wave associated with
moving material particle which controls the particle in every respect. The wave
associated with moving particle is called matter wave or de-Broglie wave where
wavelength called de-Broglie wavelength, is given by λ =h/mv.

(c) momentum of electron = momentum of proton
(d) momentum of electron < momentum of proton
13. Which of these particles having the same kinetic energy has the largest de
Broglie wavelength?
(a) Electron (b) Alpha particle (c) Proton (d) Neutron
14. Two particles A1 and A2 of masses m1, m2 (m1 > m2) have the same de
Broglie wavelength. Then
