1 LONG-ANSWERS QUESTIONS 1. What are de Broglie waves? Show that the de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron, accelerated through V volts, is given by 12.3 A o λ= V (AISSCE 1992) 2. Discuss Davissson and Germer experiment to verify de Broglie waves. (AISSCE 2003) 3. What is photoelectric effect? Write Einstein s photoelectric equation. How this equation explains the various laws of photoelectric effect? or Explain the laws of photoelectric emission on the basis of Einstein s photoelectric equation. (AISSCE 1998) ANSWERS 1. Dual nature of matter. De Broglie Waves. de Broglie suggested that like radiation, matter also has dual nature. That is, with every material particle a wave is associated. This wave is called matter wave or de Broglie wave. If a particle of mass m is moving with a speed v, then the wavelength of the matter wave associated with it is given by h λ= mv If a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a p.d. V, then
2 Therefore, v = 2qV m h λ = 2 mq For an electron, this yields λ = 1 V = V m 12.3 o or λ= A V 2. Davisson and Germer Experiment : The existence of de Broglie waves for electron was experimentally verified by Davisson and Germer by using diffraction method similar to that employed by Bragg for X-rays because the de Broglie wavelength of electrons is of the same order of magnitude as the X-rays wavelengths. V
3 Incident Beam (a) Electron Gun Detector The experimental arrangement is shown in Fig. 7.4 (a). Davisson and Germer directed an electron beam against a (111) face of a crystal of nickel. The smallest separation between nickel atoms is d = 0.91 A o. The intensity of the scattered electrons was measured as a function of the latitude angle φ measured from the axis of the incident electron beam for different electron energies. Fig 7.4 (b) shows the graph for 54 ev electron beam. It was found that the beam has a diffraction peak at φ = 50 o. The corresponding angle (θ) of incidence and scattering relative to the Bragg planes is given by θ + φ + θ = 180 o = V (b) 180 φ or θ= = = According to Bragg s law for first order diffraction maximum, we have λ = 2d sin θ
4 = sin 65 o = 1.65 A o Now, according to de Broglie hypothesis λ= A = = 1.66 A V 54 The close agreement between the two values demonstrates the correctness of the de Broglie hypothesis. 3. Photoelectric effect : Emission of electrons from the surface of a metal when electromagnetic radiation of high enough frequency falls on it is called the photoelectric effect. Emitting Plate A Radiation e Evacuated Tube Collecting Plate The apparatus is as shown. When the collecting plate is given high enough potential V, all the emitted electrons reach the collecting plate and the photoelectric current will saturate. Main Features (Laws) of Photoelectric Emission: (1) No electrons are emitted if the incident radiation has a frequency less than a threshold value ν 0. The value of ν 0 varies from metal to metal. V
5 (2) The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons varies from zero to a maximum value. The maximum value of energy depends on the frequency and not on the intensity of radiation. It varies linearly with the frequency. (3) The number of photoelectrons emitted per second, i.e., the photoelectric current, is proportional to the intensity of radiation. (4) The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process, i.e., there is negligible time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of electrons. Failure of classical physics. These results cannot be explained if we consider e.m.radiation to be wave-like, because in that case the maximum energy of emitted electrons should depend on the intensity and not on the frequencyof radiation. Elinstein s Theory. Photons. Einstein explained the photoelectric effect using Planck s quantum hypothesis. According to this theory, the incident radiation consists of tiny bundles of energy called quanta or photons. If the frequency of the radiation is ν, then the photon has energy hν, where h is Planck s constant, having value Js. When a photon collides with an electron, it is absorbed, imparting all its energy to the electron instantaneously. If the work function of the metal is W, then the maximum energy E max, and the corresponding velocity v max, of the emitted electron are given by 1 2 Emax = mv max = hν W 2 This is called Einstein s Photoelectric equation, showing that E max depends linearly on ν. The threshold frequency ν 0 is obviously given by hν 0 = W Therefore, E max = h (ν ν 0 )
6 Clearly, no emission is possible if ν < ν 0 An increase in the intensity of radiation results in an increase in the number of photons striking per second but not in the energy of individual photons.therefore, the photoelectric current increases but not the energy of emitted electrons. Lastly, since the electron emission is the result of a direct collision between an electron and a photon, there is no time delay before emission starts.

9 ANSWERS hc 1. Energy of a photon is given by E = hν =. So, when the wavelength (λ) is doubled, energy λ (E) will become half. 2. Energy of a photon depends on its frequency C. 4. The phenomenon of emission of electrons when radiation of suitable frequency strikes a metallic surface is called photoelectric effect. 5. de Broglie wavelength is given by h λ= mv h or mv = λ Since λ is same for both, we have m p v p = m e v e (where e stands for electron and p for proton) but m e < m p. So v e > v p 1 2 me v E e e 2 ( me ve) ve ve Now = = = E 1 p 2 m ( mp vp) vp vp p vp 2 Since v e > v p, therefore E e > E p.
10 6. The graph is shown in Fig The slope of this graph, on multiplying with the electronic change e, gives the value of Planck s constant, as can be seen form the photoelectric equation: h W E = ev0 = hν W V0 = ν e e 7. Photoelectric effect : See Q. 4. (a) If the frequency of incident photons is increased, the kinetic energy of ejected Fig. 7.1 photoelectrons will increase. (b) With the increase in the intensity of incident radiation, number of photoelectrons emitted increases and so the photoelectric current increases. 8. Photoelectric effect. 9. Zero. 10. The work function of wood is much higher than the energy of a photon emitted from the bulb. Hence photoelectric emission is not possible. 11. Photoelectric effect. 12. No. some of the incident photons may be absorbed in some other way by the metal surface. hc 13. Work function W = hν 0 = λ 0 hc Threshold wavelength λ 0 = W Thus, B has lower threshold wavelength.

Main Features (Laws) of Photoelectric Emission : (1) No electrons are emitted if the incident radiation has a frequency less than a threshold value ν 0. The value of ν 0 varies from metal to metal. (2) The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons varies from zero to a maximum value. The maximum value of energy depends on the frequency and not on the intensity of radiation. It varies linearly with the frequency. (3) The number of photoelectrons emitted per second, i.e., the photoelectric current, is proportional to the intensity of radiation. (4) The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process, i.e., there is negligible time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of electrons. 23. The minimum energy required to remove one electron from the surface of a material is called the work function of that material.
12 If ν 0 is the threshold frequency for photoelectric emission from a metal, then the work function of that is given by W = hν E = hc / λ, where h is Planck s constant. 25. No. 26. Yes, with increase in the frequency of incident light, the stopping potential also increases as V 0 = (h / e) ν (W/e) 27.

Different methods of electron emission from a metal surface are : (1) Thermionic emission (2) Photoelectric emission (3) Field emission 29. If the wavelength of light incident on a metal is greater than a certain value, no photoelectrons are emitted from the metal. This maximum wavelength is called threshold wavelength. 30. hc W = λ 0

How deos (i) photoelectric current (ii) kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted in a photocell vary if the intensity of the incident radiation is doubled? (AISSCE 2000) ANSWERS 31. No, at a time one photon strikes one electron and the emission of electron is possible only if the energy of each incident photon is more than the work function of the metal. 32. No, since the kinetic energy of the emitted photon is given by, E = hν W 33. The threshold frequency is greater for A. 34. Ultraviolet. 35. Blue light will eject electrons since its frequency is higher than that of green light but red light will not eject electrons because its frequency is less than that of orange light.
16 36. It is because all the electrons are not emitted from the surface of the metal. The energy of incident photon is constant but the energies used up by different electrons to free themselves from the metal are different. 37. Electron diffraction experiments establish the wave nature of matter. 38. We have ev 0 = E max or ev 0 = or V 0 = 7 V 39. Since the electron gains kinetic energy at the expense of electrical potential energy, we have mv = ev ev or v = m 2 ev or v = m 40.

18 Fig. 7.2 Fig. 7.3
19 50. Momentum of a photon 51. Particle nature of light. E hν p = =. c c h 52. λ=. For the same speed we have mv λp me = λ m e p Since m < m, so λ >λ. e p e p 1 λ m 53. In terms of kinetic energy, de Broglie wavelength is given by h λ = 2 me So λ = h/ 2 m E e λ = h/ 2m E p e p λ m e p = λp me Since m p > m e so λ e > λ p i.e., de Broglie wavelength for electron is larger. 54. Alkali metals are most suitable for photoelectric emission because they have the lowest values of work function. 55. One electron-volt is the energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of one volt. 1 electron-volt (ev) = C 1 V = J.
20 56. (i) 1 ke V (ii) = J. 57. de Broglie wavelength h 1 λ= λ mv m For a macroscopic object mass is so large that the resulting debroglie wavelength is too small to be observed. 58. Photoelectric effect. 59. Metal A will be more suitable, because its work function is lower. 60. Einstein s photo electric equation is 1 2 hν= W + mvmax 2 hc 1 2 or = W + mvmax λ 2 where W is the work function of the metal. Clearly, if the wavelength of incident radiation is decreased, the velocity of photoelectrons will increase. h 61. λ= p 62. No, matter waves are not electromagnetic. 63. In reproduction of sound from sound tracks. 64. h λ= 2 me 1 m
21 Now, m α > m p > m e λ α < λ p < λ e Thus the required order is electron, proton, α-particle. 65. See Qs. 27, 43 and (i) The kinetic energy of photoelectrons is given by E max = hν W Clearly, if ν is doubled, E max will be more than doubled because the work function (W) of the metal is fixed. (ii) The photoelectric current does not change on increasing the frequency of radiation. This is because whatever be the energy (hν) of an incident photon, it can eject only one electron. (iii) The stopping potential is given by Emax V0 =. e With the increase in the frequency of radiation, E max increases and hence V 0 increases. 67. Wrok function is a property of the target materal.
