Calculate the threshold freqency of the metalfrom the photoelectronsare emitted with zero velocity when exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 Å Hint : KE = (1)/(2) mv^(2) hv= hv_(0) + KE, KE=0 v= (c ) /( lambda)

(i) In the explanations of photoelectric effect, we assume one photon of frequency v collides with an electron and transfer its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy E_(max) of the emitted electron as E_(max)=hv-phi_(0) Where phi_(0) is the work function of the metal. if an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency v) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron? (ii) Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?

Statement-1: In Photoelectric effect , electrons absorbing the photon can not be a free electron. Statement -2: A free electron can't absorb a photon completely

In problems involving electromagenetism it is often convenlent and informative to express answers in terms of a constant, alpha , which is a combination of the Coulomb constant, k_(e) = 1//4piepsi_(0) , the charge of the electron, e, and h = h//2 , h being Planck's constant. For instant, the lowest energy that a hydrogen atom can have is given by E = 1//2 alpha^(2) mc^(2) , wherer m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light. Which of the following is the correct expression for alpha ? (HINt : non-relativistic kinetic energy is 1//2 mv^(2) , where v is speed.)

A meter stick of length l and mass M lies on a frictionlesss table. The stick is free to move in any way on the table. A hockey ball of mass m moving perpendicuarly to the mass of the ball so that it remains at rest immediately after the collision? [Hint: Elastic collision means that kinetic energy is conserved in the process. Consider conservation of kinetic energy, conservation of angualr momentum and linear momentum, i.e., 1/2mv^(2) = (1/2Mv^(2') + 1/2Iepsilon^(2) , mv1/2 = Iepsilon , mv = Mv^(') .
