Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter


Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. A 5 watt source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 Å. When placed 0.5 m away, it liberates photo electrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved to a distance of 1.0 m, the number of photo electrons liberated will be reduced by a factor of

    Number of emitted electrons NE ∝ Intensity

    1
    (Distance)2

    Therefore, as distance is doubled, NE decreases by (1/4) times.

    Correct Option: D

    Number of emitted electrons NE ∝ Intensity

    1
    (Distance)2

    Therefore, as distance is doubled, NE decreases by (1/4) times.


  1. When photons of energy hν fall on an aluminium plate (of work function E0), photo electrons of maximum kinetic energy K are ejected. If the frequency of the radiation is doubled, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photo electrons will be

    hv = φ + K
    φ = hv - K
    If we use 2ν frequency then let the kinetic energy becomes K' ​
    So,​h . 2ν = φ + K' ​
    2hν = hν – K + K' ​
    K' = hν + K
