If the maximum K.E. of photo-electrons is 4.2 eV, what should be the potential of the anode with respect to the cathode so that the current becomes zero ?
A. 9.4 V
B. - 4.2 V
C. - 9.4 V
D. + 4.2 V
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Stopping potential equals maximum kinetic energy (in eV) divided by e, so to stop 4.2 eV electrons the anode must be at -4.2 V relative to cathode.

Light from some stars shows an apparent change in frequency because of
A. reflection
B. relative motion
C. diffraction
D. refraction
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Apparent frequency shifts in starlight are due to the Doppler effect from relative motion between source and observer.

Am X T = constant means that as the temperature T:
A. Increases Am shifts to longer side of graph
B. Decreases, Am shifts to shorter side
C. Both (A) and (B)
D. Increases, Am shifts to shorter side
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
If λm·T is constant, increasing T requires λm to decrease, so the maximum shifts to shorter wavelengths as temperature rises.
