Q. No. Question BT Level CO
Considering Sun with a surface temperature of
approximately. At 6000K, to be a blackbody, determine
Q1. the peak-intensity wavelength λm of its spectrum. BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
An experiment on photoelectric effect was performed.
Following observations were made:
λ (wavelength) 6000Å 4000Å
3000Å
Q2. Vo 1.0V 2.0V 3.0V BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
Using the above observations determine the work
functions for the cathode material and the value of
Planck’s constant.
The work function of a metal is 2.0 eV. Calculate the
threshold frequency for the photoelectric emission.
Q3. BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
Q4. Light of wavelength 400 nm falls on a metal surface. If BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
Q. No. Question BT Level CO
the work function of the metal is 2.5 eV, calculate the
maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
