Question: Q. 1. State Einstein’s photoelectric equation explaining the symbols used.

Light of frequency v is incident on a photosensitive surface. A graph of the square of the maximum speed of the electrons (vmax 2) vs. v is obtained as shown in the figure. Using Einstein’s photoelectric equation, obtain expressions for (i) Planck’s constant. (ii) work function of the given photosensitive material in terms of parameters l,n and mass of the electron m.

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. Statement of equation with explanation of symbols

Expression for

(i) Planck’s constant

(ii) Work function

1

Einstein’s photoelectric equation is

hv=W+12mvmax2

v= frequency of incident light

v0= threshold frequency of photo sensitive material

W= work function

12mvmax2= max. kinetic energy of the emitted

photoelectrons 1/2

(Also accept if the student writes

hv=W+eVs

W= work function of photosensitive material

Vs= Stopping Potential)

From Einstein’s photoelectric equation, we have

hv=W+12mvmax 2 v2max =2m(hvW) =(2hm)v+(2Wm)

Slope of the given graph =Tn

intercept on the y-axis =l

2hm=ln or h=ml2n

and

l=2Wm or W=ml2
