AI Generated Solution

To determine whether violet and red light can eject electrons from a photosensitive surface, we need to analyze the situation based on the properties of light and the photoelectric effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Photoelectric Effect**: - The photoelectric effect occurs when light of sufficient frequency strikes a photosensitive surface, causing the emission of electrons. The frequency of the incident light must be greater than or equal to a certain threshold frequency (ν₀) specific to the material. 2. **Identifying the Light Frequencies**: ...

Green light ejects photoelectrons from a given photosenstive surface where as yellow light does not. What will happen in case of violet and red light? Give reason for your answer.

Blue light can cause photo electric emission from a metal, but yellow light cannot. If red light Is incident on the metal,

A metallic surface ejects electrons when hit by green light but none when hit by yellow light . Will the electrons be ejected if the same surface is hit by red light

A metallic surface ejects electrons when exposed to green light of intensity I but not when exposed to yellow light of intensity I. It is possible to eject electrons from the same surface by (i) yellow light of some intensity which is more than I (ii) green light of any intensity (iii) red light of any intensity (iv) violet light of any intensity

Assertion : In photoelectron emission the velocity of electron ejected from near the surface is larger than that coming from interior of metal. Reaon : The velocity of ejected electron will be zero.

Electron emission from a metallic surface by application of light is known as

When orange light falls on a photo sensitive surface the photocurrent begins to flow. The velocity of emitted electrons will be more whwn surface is hit by
