An increase in the frequency of the incident light increase the velocity with which photoelectron is ejected. Explain how?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From Einstein.s photoelectric equation, we have
`1/2 mv_("max")^(2) = h(v-v_(0))`
As the frequency of incident light is increased, the value of`(v - v_(0))` also increases, so the maximum kinetic energy of ejnitted photoelectrons increases.

By increasing the intensity of incident light on the surface of a metal

If the work function of a metal is 'phi' and the frequency of the incident light is 'v' , there is no emission of photoelectron if

The threshold frequency of a metal is f_0 . When the light of frequency 2f_0 is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v_1 . When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5f_0 , the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v_2 . Find the ratio of v_1 andv_2 .

The threshold frequency for a certain metal is v_(0) when light of frequency v = 2v_(0) is incident on it . The maximum velocity of photoelectrons is 4 xx 10^(6) m/s . If the frequency of incident radiation is increase to 5 v_(0) , the maximum velocity of photo electrons in m/s will be .

Radiation of frequency 1.5 times the threshold frequency is incident on a photosensitive material. If the frequency of incident radiation is halved and the intensity is doubled, the number of photoelectron ejected per second becomes:
