Two moles of an ideal monoatomic gas are confined within a cylinder by a massless and frictionless spring loaded piston of cross-sectional area 4 xx 10^(-3)m^(2) . The spring is, initially in its relaxed state. Now the gas is heated by an electric heater, placed inside the cylinder, for some time. During this time, the gas expands and does 50J of work in moving the piston through a distance 0.10m . The temperature of the gas increases by 50K . Calculate the heat supplied by the heater. P_(atm) = 1 xx 10^(5)N//m^(2)R = 8.314 J//mol-K

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.

Photoelectrons are emitted when 400 nm radiation is incident on a surface of work - function 1.9 eV. These photoelectrons pass through a region containing alpha -particles. A maximum energy electron combines with an alpha -particle to from a He^+ ion, emitting a single photon in this process. He^+ ions thus formed are in their fourth excited state. Find the energies in eV of the photons lying in the 2 to 4 eV range, that are likely to be emitted during and after the combination. [Take, h = 4.14xx10^(-15) eV -s]
