CHAPTER 11 [DUAL NATURE OF RADIATION AND MATTER]

NUMERICALS
1. Monochromatic light of frequency 6.0 x 1014 Hz is produced by a laser. The power emitted is 2.0 x 10-3 W.(a) What is
the energy of a photon in the light beam? (b) How many photons per second,on an average,are emitted by the source?
2. The work function of caesium is 2.14 eV. Find (a) the threshold frequency for caesium, and (b) the wavelength of the
incident light if the photocurrent is brought to zero by a stopping potential of 0.60 V.
3. What is the de Broglie wavelength associated with (a) an electron moving with a speed of 5.4 x 106 m/s, and (b) a ball
of mass 150 g travelling at 30.0 m/s?
4. Find the (a) maximum frequency, and (b) minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by 30 kV electrons.
5. The work function of caesium metal is 2.14 eV. When light of frequency 6 ×10 14 Hz is incident on the metal surface,
photoemission of electrons occurs. What is the
(a) maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons,
(b) Stopping potential, and
(c) maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons?
6. The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is 1.5 V.What is the maximum kinetic energy of
photoelectrons emitted?
7. Monochromatic light of wavelength 632.8 nm is produced by a helium-neon laser. The power emitted is 9.42 mW.
(a) Find the energy and momentum of each photon in the light beam,
(b) How many photons per second, on the average, arrive at a target irradiated by this beam? (Assume the beam to
have uniform cross-section which is less than the target area), and
(c) How fast does a hydrogen atom have to travel in order to have the same momentum as that of the photon?
8. In an experiment on photoelectric effect, the slope of the cut-off voltage versus frequency of incident light is found to
be 4.12 × 10-15 V s. Calculate the value of Planck’s constant.

are ejected from the surface. What is the threshold frequency for photoemission of electrons?
12. Light of wavelength 488 nm is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from
this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut-off) potential of photoelectrons is 0.38 V. Find the work
