A point source is emitting 0.2 W of ultravio- let radiation at a wavelength of lambda = 2537 Å . This source is placed at a distance of 1.0 m from the cathode of a photoelectric cell. The cathode is made of potassium (Work function = 2.22 eV ) and has a surface area of 4 cm^(2) . (a) According to classical theory, what time of exposure to the radiation shall be required for a potassium atom to accumulate sufficient energy to eject a photoelectron. Assume that radius of each potassium atom is 2 Å and it absorbs all energy incident on it. (b) Photon flux is defined as number of light photons reaching the cathode in unit time. Calculate the photon flux. (c) Photo efficiency is defined as probability of a photon being successful in knocking out an electron from the metal surface. Calculate the saturation photocurrent in the cell assuming a photo efficiency of 0.1. (d) Find the cut – off potential difference for the cell.

Study the following statements regarding chl a molecule. (i) Molecular formula of chl a is C_(55)H_(72)O_(5)N_(4)Mg . (ii) It is the primary photosynthetic pigment. (iii) In pure state, it is red in colour and thus it absorbs more blue wavelength of light than the red wavelength. (iv) It is soluble in water as well as pertroleum ether. Which of the above statements is/are not correct

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in the diagram. The voltage across the electrode is measured with the help of an ideal voltmetar, and which can be varied by moving jockey 'J' on the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of 20 V and its internal resistance is 2omega . The resistance of 100 cm long potentiometer wire is 8 omega . The photo current is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area 50 cm^(2) at separation 0.5 mm are used in the vacuum tube. Photo current in the circuit is very small so we can treat potentiometer circuit an indepdent circuit. The wavelength of various colours is as follows : |{:("Light",underset("Violet")(1),underset("Blue")(2),underset("Green")(3),underset("Yellow")(4),underset("Orange")(5),underset("Red")(6)),(lambda "in" Årarr,4000-4500,4500-5000,5000-5500,5500-6000,6000-6500,6500-7000):}| It is found that ammeter current remians unchanged (2muA) even when the jockey is moved from the 'P' to the middle point of the potentiometer wire. Assuming all the incident photons eject electron and the power of the light incident is 4 xx 10^(-6) W . Then colour of the incident light is :
