Question

When a high frequency electromagnetic radiation is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the surface. Energy of emitted photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of incident electromagnetic radiation and the number of emitted electrons depends only on the intensity of incident light.
Einstein's photoelectric equation [Kmax=hνϕ] correctly explains the PE, where ν= frequency of incident light and ϕ= work function.
The slope of the graph shown in fig. [here h is the Planck's constant and e is the charge of an electron] is

  1. he
  2. eh
  3. h
  4. eh

A
he
B
eh
C
h
D
eh
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We have : Using photoelectric Effect
Egnc=ϕ+KEmax....(1)
where Egnc= Incident energy
=hv
p= work function
KEmax=Max.k.Energy of emitted photoelectrons
where KEmax=eVo, where
Vo is the stopping potential
Hence eVo=Egncϕ
eVo=hcλϕ
Vo=hcλeϕe
Vo=hveϕe...(2)
Vohe(cλ)ϕe
Hence Curve between stopping potential and source frequency represent he as the slope from the equation (2)

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hνϕ) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons (where ϕ is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tube. Wavelength of characteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. If potential difference across the tube is increased then:

    The stopping potential for photoelectrons from a metal surface is V1 when monochromatic light of frequency ν1 is incident on it. The stopping potential becomes V2 when monochromaitc light of another frequency is incident on the same metal surface. If h be the Planck's constant and e be the charge of an electron then the frequency of light in the second case is
