Question 27: moderate

If the kinetic energy of the particle is increased to 16 times its previous value, the percentage
change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is :

1. 25
2. 75
3. 60
4. 50
View Answer
Question 28: easy

The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in photoelectric effects is independent of:

1. Frequency of incident radiation
2. Wavelength of incident radiation
3. Work function of material
4. Intensity of incident radiation
View Answer

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, \(K_{\text{max}} = h\nu - \phi\). The maximum kinetic energy depends on the frequency/wavelength of the incident light and the work function, but is independent of the intensity of the light.

Question 29: easy

The de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron, accelerated by a potential difference of 81 V is given by:

1. 1.36 nm
2. 0.136 nm
3. 13.6 nm
4. 136 nm
View Answer

The de Broglie wavelength for an electron accelerated through a potential \(V\) is given by \(\lambda = \frac{1.227}{\sqrt{V}}\text{ nm}\). Substituting \(V = 81\text{ V}\), we get \(\lambda = \frac{1.227}{9}\text{ nm} \approx 0.136\text{ nm}\).

Question 30: easy

The number of photons per second on an average emitted by the source of monochromatic light of wavelength \(600\text{ nm}\), when it delivers the power of \(3.3 \times 10^{-3}\text{ watt}\) will be (\(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\text{ J s}\))

1. \(10^{15}\)
2. \(10^{18}\)
3. \(10^{17}\)
4. \(10^{16}\)
View Answer

Power \(P = n \frac{hc}{\lambda}\), where \(n\) is the number of photons emitted per second. Substituting the given values, we get \(n = \frac{3.3 \times 10^{-3} \times 600 \times 10^{-9}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8} = 10^{16}\text{ s}^{-1}\).
