Photo electric effect

Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal, when light of certain frequency is incident on it, are stopped fully by a retarding potential of 3 volts. Photo electric effect in this metallic surface begains at a frequency 6xx10^(14)s^(-1) . The frequency of the incident light in s^(-1) is [h=6 x10^(-34) J-sec , charge on the electron = 1.6xx10^(-19)C ]

Yellow light of 557 nm wavelength is incident on a cesium surface. It is found that no photo electrons flow in the circuit when the cathode-anode voltage drops below 0.25V. Then the threshold wavelength for photo electric effect from cesium is

(c) It is observed that the photo electron emission stops ata certain time tafter the light source is switched on. Why ? (d) Evaluate the time t.

An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photo- electric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Satellites must be designed to minimize such charging because it can ruin the sensitive microelectronics. Suppose a satellite is coated with platinum, a metal with a very large work function (Phi= 5.32 eV) . Find the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum.

In an experiment on the photo-electric effect Singly ionized helium is excited electronically to different energy levels. The light emitted by ionised helium is incident on photo-electric plate in a photocell. When helium is excited to fourth energy level, then the observed stopping potential of the photocell is found to be five times the stopping potential measured when the photoelectrons are produced by using light emitted by hydrogen atom, excited to the third energy level. Determine the work function of the material of the photo-electric plate.
