Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The photoelectric effect involves absorption of an X-ray photon and ejection of an electron from an atom, a primary mechanism for electron ejection.

Correct Option
Explanation
Using radar Doppler shift Δf = (2v/c)f, v = Δf·c/(2f) = 2800·3e8/(2·840e6) ≈ 500 m/s = 0.5 km/s.

The radiant energy:
A. Always increases with increase in wavelength
B. Always decreases with decrease in wavelength
C. Initially increases and then decreases
D. Both (A) and (B)
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Blackbody spectral distribution versus wavelength rises to a peak and then falls, so the radiant energy initially increases then decreases with wavelength.
1145

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed electromagnetic radiation, typically at a different (longer) wavelength.

Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays and gamma-rays are both electromagnetic radiation; they differ in origin but are similar in nature as photons.

If in a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from 6000 Å to 4000 Å, then
A. stopping potential will increase
B. the value of work function will decrease
C. kinetic energy of emitted electrons will decrease
D. stopping potential will decrease
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Shorter wavelength means higher photon energy, so the maximum kinetic energy and thus stopping potential increase.

Which light when falling on a metal will emit photo electrons ?
A. Ultra-violet radiation
B. Radiowaves
C. Infra-red radiation
D. Microwaves
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Photoelectric emission requires photons with sufficient energy to overcome the work function; ultraviolet photons have higher energy than IR, microwaves or radiowaves.
