Question 29: NCERT Solutions for 12th Class Physics: Chapter 11-Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
The work function for the following metals is given:
Na: 2.75 eV; K: 2.30 eV; Mo: 4.17 eV; Ni: 5.15 eV. Which of these metals will notgive photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength 3300 A from a He-Cd laser placed 1 m away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?
Solution:
The distance between laser source and receiver does not affect the energy of each photon incident, hence does not affect the energy of emitted photo electrons. But the reduction in distance will increase the intensity of incident light and hence number of photons. This will increase the photoelectric current. where, wavelength of incident radiation is
Now, work function of Mo: 4.17 eV, Ni: 5.15 eV is more than energy of incident photon, hence these two metals will not give photoelectric emission.
