प्रश्न
The threshold frequency for a certain metal is 3.3 × 1014 Hz. If light of frequency 8.2 × 1014 Hz is incident on the metal, predict the cutoff voltage for the photoelectric emission.
उत्तर
Threshold frequency of the metal, v0 = 3.3 × 1014 Hz
Frequency of light incident on the metal, v = 8.2 × 1014 Hz
Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10−19 C
Planck’s constant, h = 6.626 × 10−34 Js
Cut-off voltage for the photoelectric emission from the metal = V0
The equation for the cut-off energy is given as:
`"eV"_0 = "h"("v" - "v"_0)`
`"V"_0 = ("h"("v" - "v"_0))/"e"`
= `(6.626 xx 10^(-34) xx (8.2 xx 10^14 - 3.3 xx 10^(14)))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19))`
= 2.0292 V
Therefore, the cut-off voltage for the photoelectric emission is 2.0292 V.

Light of frequency 7.21 × 1014 Hz is incident on a metal surface. Electrons with a maximum speed of 6.0 × 105 m/s are ejected from the surface. What is the threshold frequency for photoemission of electrons?
An electron gun with its collector at a potential of 100 V fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure (∼10−2 mm of Hg). A magnetic field of 2.83 × 10−4 T curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius 12.0 cm. (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons, and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the ‘fine beam tube’ method. Determine e/m from the data.
