Explanation
Photon is a particle of zero rest mass. It travels with velocity of light and has energy and momentum.
Stopping potential is independent of the intensity of the incident light. Hence graph between Vs and I is a st. line parallel to I–axis.
Photoelectric current depends only on the intensity of the incident light and is independent of the frequency of the incident light.
When frequency of incident light is halved, its frequency becomes 0.75 V0 which is less than threshold frequency. Hence no photoelectric emission will take place.
Work function is less for sodium and more for copper.So for the given incident energy,the kinetic energy of photoelectrons will be more from sodium than that of copper. So stopping potential is more for sodium than that for copper.
The photoelectric current, depends upon the no. of photoelectrons ejected, which inturn depends upon the no. of photons falling and hence on intensity of incident higher.
Einsteins’s work on photoelectric effect provided support to the planck’s quantum theory of light i.e,
E = hv.
Photoelectricity and electron microscopy deal with the particle nature and wave nature of electromagnetic wave and electrons
At low pressure, the electrons acquire sufficient KE under the applied potential difference, which can cause ionization by collision with atoms, which result in the availability of number of ions
Cathode rays travel with a speed less than that of velocity of light.
photoelectric emission is possible if the υ>υ0 . Since v for X – rays is greater than that of ultraviolet light, hence photoelectric emission is possible by using X – rays.
specific charge= charge /mass.As mass of positron (= 9.1 ×10-31kg)is least as compared to that of proton and α − particle, and charge on positron (+e) on proton (+ e) and on α – particle (+ 2e) so specific charge is maximum for positron.
