Question

How does Einstein's photoelectric equation explain the emission of electrons from a metal surface ? Explain briefly. Plot the variation of photocurrent with : (a) collector plate potential for different intensity of incident radiation, and (b) intensity of incident radiation.

A graph is plotted between the stopping potential (on y-axis) and the frequency of incident radiation (on x-axis) for a metal. The product of the slope of the straight line obtained and the magnitude of charge on an electron is equal to :

Light of frequency 6·4 × 10¹⁴ Hz is incident on a metal of work function 2·14 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is about :

Figure shows the variation of photoelectric current measured in a photo cell circuit as a function of the potential difference between the plates of the photo cell when light beams A, B, C and D of different wavelengths are incident on the photo cell. Examine the given figure and answer the following questions:
