In an experiment tungsten cathode which has a threshold wavelength 2300 Å is irradiated by ultraviolet light of wavelength 1800 Å . Calculate (a) maximum energy of emitted photoelectronos & (b) work function of the tungsten

For given enegy, corresponding wavelength will be E = 3.03 xx 10^(-19) Joules (h = 6.6 xx 10^(-34) j X sec., C = 3 xx 10^(8) m/sec

The energy of a photon wavelength k = 1 meter is (Planck's constant = 6.625 xx 10^(-34) Js, speed of light = 3 xx 10^(8) m//s )

Calculate the energy in joule corresponding to light of wavelength 45 nm : (Planck' constant h = 6.63 xx 10^-34 Js , speed of light c = 3 xx 10^8 ms^-1 )

If the work function of a and is 3 eV, calculate the threshold wavelength of that metal. (Velocity of light =3xx10^(8)m//s Planck's constant= 6.63xx10^(-34)J-s,1eV=1.6xx10^(-19) )

Light of wavelength 4000 Å falls on a photosensitive metal and a negative 2 V potential stops the emitted electrons. The work function of the material ( in eV) is approximately ( h = 6.6 xx 10^(-34) Js , e = 1.6 xx 10^(-19) C , c = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1))

A 2 mW laser operates at a wavelength of 500 nm. The number of photons that will be emitted per second is: [Given Planck’s constant h = 6.6 xx 10^(-34)Js , speed of light c = 3.0 xx 10^(8) m//s ]
