Question: Q. 6. Two monochromatic radiations of frequencies v1 and v2(v1>v2) and having the same intensity are, in turn, incident on a photosensitive surface to cause photoelectric emission. Explain, giving reason, in which case (i) more number of electrons will be emitted and (ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will be more.

Solution:

Ans. (i) Intensity of incident radiation I=nhv, where, n is the number of photons incident per unit time per unitarea. For same intensity of two monochromatic radiations of frequency v1 and v2.1/2 a) n1hv1=n2hv2

 As, v1>v2 n2>n1

Therefore, the number of electrons emitted for monochromatic radiation of frequency v2, will be more than that for radiation of frequency v1. 1/2 hν=ϕ0+Kmax

For given ϕ0 (work function of metal),

Kmax increases with v.

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons will be more for monochromatic light of frequency v1( as v1>v2).

Detailed Answer :

(i) According to the quantum theory number of photons per unit area in unit time is the intensity of radiation.

Hence, I=nhv

where, n= number of photons

v= frequency of monochromatic radiation

Given

I1=I2 n1hv1=n2hv2

 if, v1>v2  then n1<n2

Hence, number of photons having v2 frequency of monochromatic radiation is more than the number of photons having v1 frequency of monochromatic radiation.

(ii) Kinetic energy of the emitted photons is given by KE=hvϕ0; where, ϕ0 is the work function of photosensitive surface; which is same for both radiations, as it is characteristic of metal surface. 1/2 So, Maximum kinetic energy of emitted photon is more for higher frequency of radiation. Hence kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons are more with v1 frequency of monochromatic radiation.
