The work function for the following meta...

The work function for the following metals is given Na: 2.75 eV, K:2.30 eV , Mo: 4.17 eV , Ni: 515 eV.
Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength 3300 A from a `He-Cd` laser placed 1m away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `lambda = 3300 Å = 3300 xx10^(-10)` m
Energy of incident photon , `E = (hc)/lambda = (6.63 xx10^(-34) xx 3xx 10^(8))/(3300 xx10^(-10) xx1.6 xx10^(-19)):. E = 3.75 `ev
Here Na, K has work function than 3.75 eV. So they produce photoelectric effect . If the laser is brought nearer then only the intensity change or the number of photoelectrons change .

The work function (W_(0)) of Li, K, Mg, Ag and Cu are 2.42, 2.25, 3.70, 4.80 eV respectively. The number of metals which undergo photoelectric effect if a radiation of wavelength 540 nm falls on them is (1 eV = 1.602xx10^(-19) J)

The work functions of Ag, Mg, K and Na respectively in eV are 4.3, 3.7, 2.25, 2.30. when an electromagnetic radiation of wavelength of 300 nm is allowed to fall on these metal surfaces, the number of metals from which the electrons are ejected is. (1 eV = 1.6022 times 10^-19 J)

The work function (phi) of some metals is listed below. The number of metals which will show photoelectric effect when light of 300 nm wavelength falls metal is one the {:("Metal",Li,Na,K,Mg,Cu,Ag,Fe,Pt,W),(phi eV,2.4,2.3,2.2,3.7,4.8,4.3,4.7,6.3,4.75):}

Light of intensity 10^(-5) W m^(-2) falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area 2 cm^(2) . Assuming that the top 5 layers of sodium absorb the incident energy, estimate time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation. The work function for the metal is given to be about 2 eV. What is the implication of your answer?

When photons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of a metal A, the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy, T_(A) (expressed in eV) and de Broglie wavelength lambda_(A) . The mximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal B by photons of energy 4.20 eV is T_(B) = T_(A) - 1.50 eV . If the de Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is lambda_(B) = 2 lambda_(A) , then which is not correct :

Photons of energies 4.25eV and 4.7eV are incident on two metal surfaces A and B respectively. The maximum KE of emitted electrons are respectively T_(A)eV and T_(B)=(T_(A)-1.5)eV . The ratio de-Broglie wavelengths of photo electrons from them is lamda_(A):lamda_(B)=1:2 , then find the work function of A and B
