When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance of from a photoelectric cell, the cutoff voltage and the saturation current are respectively and . If the same source is placed away from the cell, then :


Important Questions on Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

The work function of a certain metal is . When a monochromatic light of wavelength is incident such that the plate gains a total power . If the efficiency of photoelectric emission is and all the emitted photoelectrons are captured by a hollow conducting sphere of radius already charged to potential , then neglecting any interaction between plate and the sphere, expression of potential of the sphere at time is,


The radiation force experienced by body exposed to radiation of intensity , assuming surface of body to be perfectly absorbing is :



In an experiment on the photoelectric effect, the separation between the emitter and the collector plates is . Plates are connected through an ammeter without any cell. A Magnetic field exists parallel to the plates. The work function of the emitter is and, the light of wavelengths between and is incident on it. If the minimum value of for which the current registered by the ammeter is zero is . Then find out the value of (Neglect any effect of space charge). (Assume emission of photoelectron to be randomly every possible direction)
