JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves JEE PYQ-Photo Electric Effect X-rays

  • question_answer
    Radiation, with wavelength 6561\[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. The electrons are made to enter a uniform magnetic field of \[3\text{ }\times \text{ }{{10}^{4}}\]T. If the radius of the largest circular path followed by the electrons is 10 mm, the work function of the metal is close to [JEE MAIN Held on 09-01-2020 Morning]

    A) 1.6 eV

    B) 1.1 eV

    C) 0.8 eV

    D) 1.8 eV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\phi ={{E}_{ph}}-{{\left( KE \right)}_{\max }}\]
                \[p=\sqrt{2mk}\]
                \[\Rightarrow k=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\]
                \[r=\frac{p}{eB}\]
                \[\Rightarrow k=\frac{{{r}^{2}}{{e}^{2}}{{B}^{2}}}{2m}\]
                \[=\frac{12420}{6561}-\frac{{{r}^{2}}e{{B}^{2}}}{2m}\](ln eV)
                \[=1.89\left( eV \right)-\frac{\left( {{10}^{-4}} \right)\left( 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}} \right)9\times {{10}^{5}}}{2\times 9.07\times {{10}^{-31}}}\]
                \[=\left( 1.89-0.79 \right)eV=1.1eV\]
