Physics - Modern Physics Question with Solution | TestHub
In a photoelectric experiment, a parallel beam of monochromatic light with the power ofis incident on a perfectly absorbing cathode of work function. The frequency of light is just above the threshold frequency so that the photoelectrons are emitted with negligible kinetic energy. Assume that the photoelectron emission efficiency is 100%. A potential difference ofis applied between the cathode and the anode. All the emitted electrons are incident normally on the anode and are absorbed. The anode experiences a forcedue to the impact of the electrons. The value ofis __________. Mass of the electron.
Answer:
Solution:
Power
number of photons per second
Since
As photon is just above threshold frequencyis zero and they are accelerated by potential difference of
Since efficiency is 100%, number of electrons emitted is equal to number of photons falling per second as electrons are completely absorbed, force exerted
