NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Physics Solutions Chapter 11 MCQI

Question:1

A particle is dropped from a height H. The de-Broglie wavelength of the particle as a function of height is proportional to (a) H (b) H^1/2 (c) H⁰ (d) H^-1/2

Answer:

The answer is the option (d)
Velocity of freely falling body after falling from a height H is given b
y $v= \sqrt{2gH}$
de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is given by
$\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv}\: or\: \frac{h}{m\sqrt{2gH}}$
where h, m and g are constant
So,
$\\\lambda \alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{H}}\\ \lambda \alpha H^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Question:2

The wavelength of a photon needed to remove a proton from a nucleus which is bound to the nucleus with 1 MeV energy is nearly
a) 1.2 nm (b) 1.2 x 10^-3 nm
(c) 1.2 x 10^-6 nm (d). 1.2 x 10 nm

Answer:

The answer is the option (b)
Energy of the photon should be equal to the binding energy of the proton
So, the energy of photon=
$1MeV=10^{6}\ast 1.6\ast 10^{-19}\\ \lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=6.63 \ast 10^{-34} \ast 3 \ast\frac{10^{8}}{1.6 \ast 10^{-13}}\\ =1.24 \ast 10^{-3}nm$

Question:3

Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy E₀) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then
(a) no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons
(b) electrons can be emitted but all with an energy, E₀
(c) electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of E₀ – $\phi$ ( $\phi$ is the work function)
(d) electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of E₀

Answer:

The answer is the option (d) When a beam of electrons (each electron with energy E₀ ) incident on a metal surface is kept in an evacuated chamber, energy of incident electrons will be transferred to the emitted electrons due to elastic collisions. A part of E₀ of incident electrons is consumed against work function to emit the electrons. Thus, the maximum energy of emitted electrons is E₀

Question:4

Consider Fig. 11.7 in the NCERT textbook of physics for Class XII. Suppose the voltage applied to A is increased. The diffracted beam will have the maximum at a value of θ that
(a) will be larger than the earlier value
(b) will be the same as the earlier value
(c) will be less than the earlier value
(d) will depend on the target

Answer:

The answer is the option (c)
The de-Broglie wavelength of diffracted beam of electrons is given by
$\lambda_{d}=\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}A^{\circ}..............(i)$
If there is a maxima of the diffracted electrons at an angle $\theta$ , then $2d \sin \theta =\lambda$
From equation (i), we get that on increasing the voltage, $\lambda_{d}$ decreases which in turn
decreases the value of $\theta$

Question:5

A proton, a neutron, an electron and an α-particle have the same energy. Then their de Broglie wavelengths compare as
$(a) \lambda _{p} = \lambda _{n} > \lambda _{e} > \lambda _{\alpha} \\ (b) \lambda _{\alpha} < \lambda _{p} = \lambda _{n} < \lambda _{e}\\ (c) \lambda _{e} < \lambda _{p} = \lambda _{n} > \lambda _{\alpha} \\ (d) \lambda _{e} = \lambda _{p} = \lambda _{n} = \lambda _{\alpha}$

Answer:

The answer is the option (b)
de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is given by
$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv}$
$2K=mv^{2}\\ 2Km=m^{2}v^{2}\\ 2mK=p^{2}\\ p=\sqrt{2mK}\\ y_{d}=\frac{h}{p}\\ y_{d}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}\\ Since\: \lambda\alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\\ M_{a}>m_{p}=m_{n}>m_{e}\\ \lambda_{a}>\lambda_{p}=\lambda_{n}>\lambda_{e}$

Question:6

An electron is moving with an initial velocity v = v0i and is in a magnetic field B = B0j. Then, its de-Broglie wavelength
(a) remains constant
(b) increases with time
(c) decreases with time
(d) increases and decreases periodically

Answer:

The answer is the option (a)
$\vec{v}=v_{0}\hat{i}\: \: \: \: \: B=B_{0}\hat{j}$
Force on the elctron in perpendicular magnetic field B is
$F=-e\left (\vec{v} X \vec{B} \right )$
$=-ev_{0}B_{0}k$
Therefore, the force is perpendicular to v and B both. The de-Broglie wavelength will not change.

Question:7

An electron (mass m) with an initial velocity v = v₀i(v₀ > 0) is in an electric field $E=E_{0}\hat{i}$ (E₀ = constant > 0). Its de-Broglie wavelength at time t is given by
$(a) \frac{\lambda_{0}}{\left [ 1+\frac{eE_{0}}{m}\frac{t}{v_{0}} \right ]}\\ (b)\lambda_{0}\left [ 1+\frac{eE_{0}t}{mv_{0}} \right ]\\ (c)\lambda_{0}\\ (d)\lambda_{0}t$

Answer:

The answer is the option (a)
Initial de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is given by
$\lambda_{0}=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv_{0}}$
Force on electron=F=qE
$ma=eE_{0}\hat{i}\\ a=\frac{eE}{m}\hat{i}$
Velocity of electron after time t is v=v₀+at
$v=v_{0}i+\frac{eE}{m}i.t\\ v=\left [ v_{0}+\frac{eEt}{m} \right ]\hat{i}\\$
New de-Broglie wavelength
$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$
$\lambda=\frac{h}{m\left [ v_{0}+\frac{eE_{0}t}{m} \right ]}\\ \lambda=\frac{\lambda_{0}}{\left [ 1+\frac{eE_{0}t}{mv_{0}} \right ]}\; \; \; \left ( Since \frac{h}{mv_{0}}=\lambda_{0} \right )$

Question:8

An electron (mass m) with an initial velocity $v=v_{0}\hat{i}$ is in an electric field $E=E_{0}\hat{i}$ IF $\lambda_{0}=\frac{h}{mv_{0}}$ its de-broglie wavelength at time t is given by
$(a)\lambda_{0}\\(b)\lambda_{0}\sqrt{1+\frac{e^{2}E_{0}^{2}t^{0}}{m^{2}v_{0}^{2}}}\\(c)\frac{\lambda_{0}}{\sqrt{1+\frac{e^{2}E_{0}^{2}t^{0}}{m^{2}v_{0}^{2}}}}\\ (d)\frac{\lambda_{0}}{\left (1+\frac{e^{2}E_{0}^{2}t^{0}}{m^{2}v_{0}^{2}} \right )}$

Answer:

The correct answer is option (c)
$\frac{\lambda_{0}}{\sqrt{1+\frac{e^{2}E_{0}^{2}t^{0}}{m^{2}v_{0}^{2}}}}$

NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Physics Solutions Chapter 11 MCQII

Question:9

Relativistic corrections become necessary when the expression for the kinetic energy 1/2 mv² , becomes comparable with mc², where m is the mass of the particle. At what de Broglie wavelength will relativistic corrections become important for an electron?
$(a)\lambda=10nm\\ (b)\lambda=10^{-1}\\ (c)\lambda=10^{-4}\\ (d)\lambda=10^{-6}\\$

Answer:

The answer is the option (c, d)
The wavelength of de-Broglie wave is given by
$\lambda$ = h/p = h/mv
Here, h=6.6*10^-34
and for electron, m=9*10^-31 Kg
$v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}\\ =6.6 * \frac{10^{-34}}{9*10^{-31}\lambda}\\ =6.6*\frac{10^{-34+31}}{9\lambda}=0.73*\frac{10^{-3}}{\lambda}......(i)$
$(a)\lambda=10nm=10^{-8}m\\ using \; the\; formula\;(i)v=7.3*10^{4}<3*10^{8}\\ (b)\lambda=10^{-1}nm=10^{-10}m\\ v=7.3*10^{6}<10^{8}\\ ({c})\lambda=10^{-4}nm=10^{-13}m\\ v=7.3*10^{9}>10^{8}\\ (d)\lambda=10^{-6}nm=10^{-15}m\\ v=7.3*10^{11}>10^{8}\\$

Question:10

Two particles A1 and A2 of masses m1, m2 (m1 > m2) have the same de Broglie wavelength. Then
(a) their momenta are the same
(b) their energies are the same
(c) energy of A1 is less than the energy of A2
(d) energy of A1 is more than the energy of A2

Answer:

The answer is the option (a. c)
$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}\\ p=\frac{h}{\lambda}\;or\; p\alpha \frac{1}{\lambda}\\ \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}\\ \lambda_{1}=\lambda_{2}=\lambda (given) p_{1}=p_{2} \; vertifies(a)\\ E_{a}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m^{2}v^{2}}{m}=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}\\ E\alpha \frac{1}{m}[as\;p_{1}=p_{2}]\\ \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}}\\ \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}<1[m_{1}>m_{2}] E_{2}>E_{1}$
Thus c is correct.

Question:11

The de Broglie wavelength of a photon is twice the de Broglie wavelength of an electron. The speed of the electron is v_e = c/100. Then
(a) E_e/E_p = 10^-4
(b) E_e/E_p = 10^-2
(c) Pe/m_ec = 10^-2
(d) P_e/m_ec = 10^-4

Answer:

The answer is the option (b,c)
The energy of a charged particle when accelerated through a potential difference V is:
$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=qV$
De-Broglie wavelength
$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\\ \lambda_{Neutron}=\frac{0.286*10^{-10}}{\sqrt{E}}m=\frac{0.286*10^{-10}}{\sqrt{E}}A^{\circ}$
At ordinary temperature, the energy of thermal neutrons
$E=kT\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mkT}}\\ \lambda_{Thermal\; Neutron}=\frac{30.83}{\sqrt{T}}A^{\circ}\\ Mass\; of\; electron=m_{e}\\ Mass\; of\; photon=m_{p}\\$
de Broglie wavelength of the electron
$\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{m_{e}v_{e}}=\frac{100h}{m_{e}c}\\ KE_{e}=\frac{1}{2}m_{e}v_{e}^{2}\\ m_{e}v_{e}^{2}=\sqrt{2E_{e}m_{e}}\\ \lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{m_{e}v_{e}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2E_{e}m_{e}}}\\ E_{e}=\frac{h^{2}}{2\lambda_{e}^{2}v_{e}}$
de Broglie wavelength of the proton is $\lambda_{p}$
$E_{p}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_{p}}=\frac{hc}{2\lambda_{e}}\\ \frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}=\left ( \frac{hc}{\lambda_{e}} \right )*\left ( \frac{2\lambda_{e}^{2}m_{e}}{h} \right )=100\\ p_{e}=m_{e}v_{e}=m_{e}*\frac{c}{100}\\ \frac{p_{e}}{m_{e}c}=10^{-2}$

Question:12

Photons absorbed in the matter are converted to heat. A source emitting n photon/sec of frequency ν is used to convert 1kg of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C. Then, the time T taken for the conversion
(a) decreases with increasing n, with ν fixed
(b) decreases with n fixed, ν increasing
(c) remains constant with n and ν changing such that nν = constant
(d) increases when the product nν increases

Answer:

The answer is the option (a, b. c).
Heat energy required to convert 1Kg of ice at $0^{\circ}$ C to water at $0^{\circ}$ C is E=mL
If n is the number of photons incident per second and time t is taken by radiation to
melt the ice at $0^{\circ}$ C.
Then E=n hv t
$t=\frac{mL}{nhv}\\$
Or $t\alpha \frac{1}{nv}\\$
[m, L and h are constants ] Hence, (a), (b) and (c) are correct.
If nv increases then T decreases ;so (d) isn't correct.

Question:13

A particle moves in a closed orbit around the origin, due to a force which is directed towards the origin. The de-BrOglie wavelength of the particle varies cyclically between two values $\lambda_{1},\lambda_{2}$ with $\lambda_{1}>\lambda_{2}$ Which of the following statements are true?
(a) The particle could be moving in a circular orbit with origin as centre
(b) The particle could be moving in an elliptic orbit with origin as its focus
(c) When the de-Broglie wavetength is $\lambda_{1}$ the particle is nearer the origin than when its value is $\lambda_{2}$
(d) When the de-Broglie wavelength is $\lambda_{2}$ the particle is nearer the origin than when its value is $\lambda_{1}$

Answer:

The answer is the option (b,d)
A particle moving in an elliptic orbit with Origin as the centre can have its de-Broglie wavelength varying between $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$ cyclically. When the de-Broglie wavelength is lower, the particle is closer to the origin.
$\lambda_{1}=\frac{h}{mv_{1}}\; and \; \lambda_{2}=\frac{h}{mv_{2}}\\ As,\lambda_{1}>\lambda_{2}\\ v_{2}>v_{1}$
The particle will have a higher velocity closer to focus.

Question:14

A proton and an $\alpha$ -particle are accelerated, using the same potential difference. How are the de Broglie wavelengths $\lambda_{p}$ and $\lambda_{a}$ related to each other?

Answer:

It is given that the proton and $\alpha$ -particle are accelerated at the
same potential difference so their kinetic energies will be equal.
$K_{1}=K_{2}=K=qV\\ \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\\ \frac{\lambda_{p}}{\lambda_{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{a}q_{a}V_{a}}{m_{p}q_{p}V_{p}}}\\ m_{a}=4m_{p};q_{a}=2e;q_{p}=e;V_{p}=V_{a}=V\\ \frac{\lambda_{p}}{\lambda_{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{4m_{p}2eV}{m_{p}eV}}=\sqrt{8}\\ \lambda_{p}=\sqrt{8}\lambda_{\alpha }$

Question:15

(i) In the explanation of photoeletric effect, we assume one photon of frequency v collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads . to the equation for the maximum energy E_max of the emitted electron as $E_{max} = hv - \phi_{0}$
where $\phi_{0}$ is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency v), what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?
(ii) Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?

Answer:

(i) In the question, 2 photons transfer its energy to one electron as E=hv
E_e=E_p
hv_e=2hv
v_e=2v
v is the frequency
The maximum energy of the emitted electron is E_max=hv_e - $\phi_{0}$
=h(2v) - $\phi_{0}$
=2hv - $\phi_{0}$
(ii) Due to the mass difference, the probability that the electron absorbs 2 photons is extremely low. Therefore the chances of such emission of electrons is close to negligible.

Question:16

There are materials which absorb photons of shorter wavelength and emit photons of longer wavelength. Can there be stable substances which absorb photons of larger wavelength and emit light of shorter wavelength?

Answer:

With an increase in the wavelength of the photon, there is a decrease in the frequency or increase in the energy of the photon. Let us consider 2 possible cases:

The photons having a smaller wavelength emit photons of smaller energy wherein some of it is consumed against work function. The law of conservation of energy is upheld in this case.
Photons having a longer wavelength always emit photons with shorter wavelength. Photons having smaller energy can never emit photons of larger energy as some part of energy is consumed in work function of metal. So, it isn’t possible in stable materials.

Question:17

Do all the electrons that absorb a photon comes out as photo electrons?

Answer:

A common observation in the photoelectric effect is that most of the electrons knocked by photons are scattered into the metal by absorbing photons. In order to escape from the surface, the electron must absorb enough energy to overcome the positive ion attraction in the material of the surface.
Therefore, not all the electrons that absorb a photon comes out from the metal surface.

Question:18

There are two sources of light, each emitting with a power of 100 W. One emits X-rays of wavelength 1nm and the other visible light at 500 nm. Find the ratio of a number of photons of X-rays to the photons of visible light of the given wavelength?

Answer:

Let E_X and E_V be the energies given by one photon in X-rays and
visible rays respectively.
Then E_X=hv_X and E_V=hv_V
Let n_X and n_V be the number of photons from x-rays and visible
light are of equal energies and they emit 100 W power.
$n_{X}hv_{X}=n_{V}hv_{V}\\ \frac{n_{X}}{n_{V}}=\frac{v_{V}}{v_{X}}=\frac{\lambda_{X}}{\lambda_{V}}\\ \frac{n_{X}}{n_{V}}=\frac{1}{500}\; \; \; n_{X}:n_{V}=1:500$

Question:19

Consider the figure given for photoemission. How would you reconcile with momentum-conservation? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons.

Answer:

There is a transfer of momentum to the atoms on the metal surface when the photons strike the surface. This also results in a decrease in speed of the photons. Thus, the momentum of photons is transferred to the nucleus and electrons of the metal.
Although the direction of emission of electrons is opposite to that of photons, the total momentum transferred by them is equal.

Question:20

Consider a metal exposed to light of wavelength 600 nm. The maximum energy of the electron doubles when light of wavelength 400 nm is used. Find the work function in eV.

Answer:

Let the maximum energies of emitted electrons be K₁ and K₂ when 600 nm and 400 nm visible light are used according to question
$K_{2}=2K_{1}\\ K_{max}=hv-\phi=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\phi\\ K_{1}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_{1}}-\phi\\ K_{2}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_{2}}-\phi=2K_{1}\\ \frac{hc}{\lambda_{2}}-\phi=2 \left [\frac{hc}{\lambda_{1}}-\phi \right ]=\frac{2hc}{\lambda_{1}}-2\phi\\ \phi=hc\left [ \frac{2}{\lambda_{1}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{2}} \right ]\\ =1240\left [ \frac{2}{600}-\frac{1}{400} \right ]eV\\ =\frac{1240}{200}\left [ \frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2} \right ]=6.2\left ( \frac{4-3}{6} \right )\\ Work\; function\; \phi=\frac{6.2}{6}=1.03eV$

Question:21

Assuming an electron is confined to a 1nm wide region, find the uncertainty in momentum using the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. You can assume the uncertainty in position as 1nm. Assuming , find the energy of the electron in electron volts.

Answer:

As the electrons rotate in a circular path,
$\Delta r=1nm=10^{-9}m$
$\Delta p=\frac{h}{\Delta X}\\ \Delta p=\left ( \frac{331}{314} \right )*10^{25}\\ E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{\Delta p^{2}}{2m}\\ E=3.8*10^{-2}eV$

Question:22

Two monochromatic beams A and B of equal intensity I, hit a screen. The number of photons hitting the screen by beam A is twice that by beam B. Then what inference can you make about their frequencies?

Answer:

$I_{A}=I_{B}\; (Given\; in\; the\; question)\\ n_{A}hv_{A}=n_{B}hv_{B}\\ n_{A}=2n_{B}[Given]\\ 2n_{B}v_{A}=n_{B}v_{B}\\ 2v_{A}=v_{B}$
So, the frequency of source B is twice the frequency of source A.

Question:23

Two particles A and B of de Broglie wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$ combine to form a particle C. The process conserves momentum. Find the de Broglie wavelength of the particle C. (The motion is one dimensional).

Answer:

The de-Broglie wavelength is given by
$\lambda=\frac{h}{p} \; or\; p=\frac{h}{\lambda}$
$p_{1}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{1}}, p_{2}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{2}}, p_{3}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}$
By the law of conservation of momentum
$p_{1}+p_{2}= p_{3}$
$\frac{h}{\lambda_{1}}+\frac{h}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}$ ( $\lambda_{3}$ is the wavelength of particle C)

$\frac{h}{\lambda_{1}}+\frac{h}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}\\ \frac{\lambda_{2}+\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}$
Case I:When p₁ and p₂ are positive then $\lambda_{3}=\frac{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}$
Case II:When p₁ and p₂ both are negative $\lambda_{3}=\left |-\frac{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}} \right |=\frac{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}$
Case III: $p_{A}>0,p_{B} <0$
$\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{1}}-\frac{h}{\lambda_{2}}\; or\; \frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}=\frac{(\lambda_{2}-\lambda_{1})h}{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}$
Case IV: $p_{A}<0,p_{B} >0$
$\frac{h}{\lambda_{3}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{1}}-\frac{h}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{\left (\lambda_{1}-\lambda_{2} \right )h}{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}\\ \lambda_{3}=\frac{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}-\lambda_{2} }$

Question:24

A neutron beam of energy E scatters from atoms on a surface with a spacing d = 0.1nm. The first maximum of intensity in the reflected beam occurs at theta = 30 degree. What is the kinetic energy E of the beam in eV?

Answer:

According to the Bragg’s law of diffraction, condition for the nth maxima is given by
$2d\sin \theta=n \lambda\\\\ n=1\\\\ so\; \lambda=2d\sin \theta [\theta=30^{\circ}]\\\\ =2*0.1*10^{-9}\sin 30^{\circ}\\\\ p=\frac{h}{\lambda}=6.6*\frac{10^{-34}}{10^{-10}}=6.6*10^{-24}kg\frac{m}{s}\\\\ E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m^{2}v^{2}}{m}\\\\ =\frac{p^{2}}{2m}=\frac{6.6*6.6*10^{-48}}{2*1.6*10^{-27}*1.6*10^{-19}}eV\\ =\frac{66*66*10^{-48+46}}{2*16*16}=33*\frac{33}{126}*10^{-2}\\\\ =8.5*10^{-2}=0.085eV$

Question:25

Consider a thin target (10–2m square, 10–3m thickness) of sodium, which produces a photocurrent of $100 \mu A$ when a light of intensity 100W/m2 ( $\lambda$ = 660nm) falls on it. Find the probability that a photoelectron is produced when a photon strikes a sodium atom. [Take density of Na = 0.97 kg/m3].

Answer:

Area (A)=10^-2cm²=10^-4m²
thickness (t)=10^-3m
photo current (i)=100*10^-6=10^-4A
Intensity (I)=100 W/m²
wavelength ( $\lambda$ )=660 nm=660*10^-9m
density (ρ_Na)=0.97 kg/m³
Avogadro's Number=6*10²⁶Kg atom
Volume of target (V)=A*d=10^-4*10^-3=10^-7m³
MNa (6*10²⁶ atoms of Na)=23 kg
VNa (6*10²⁶ atoms of Na) =
$\frac{23}{0.97}m^{3}$
N_Na=
$\frac{10^{-7}}{\frac{\frac{23}{0.97}}{6*10^{26}}}=2.53*10^{18}$
Energy of photon= $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$
Total Energy= $\frac{nhc}{\lambda}=IA$
$n=\frac{nA\lambda}{hc}=3.3*10^{16}\\\\ N=n*N_{Na}*p\\ i=Ne=n*N_{Na}*p*e\\ 10^{-4}=33*10^{16}*2.53*10^{18}*1.6*10^{-19}*p\\ p=7.48*10^{-21}$

Question:26

Consider an electron in front of the metallic surface at a distance d (treated as an infinite plane surface). Assume the force of attraction by the plate is given as 2 2 0 1 4 4 q $\pi\epsilon$ d Calculate work in taking the charge to an infinite distance from the plate. Taking d = 0.1nm, find the work done in electron volts. [Such a force law is not valid for d < 0.1nm].

Answer:

Let us consider the above-given figure wherein an electron is displaced slowly by a distance x by the means of an external force which is given by
$F=\frac{q^{2}}{4*4\pi\varepsilon_{0}d^{2}}\; where \;d=0.1nm=10^{-10}m$
Now work done by an external agency in taking the electron from distance d to infinity is
$W=\int_{d}^{\infty }F_{x}dx=\int_{d}^{\infty }\frac{q^{2}dx}{4*4\pi\varepsilon _{0}}*\frac{1}{x^{2}}\\\\\\ =\frac{q^{2}dx}{4*4\pi\varepsilon _{0}}\left (\frac{1}{d} \right )=\frac{\left ( 1.6*10^{-19} \right )^{2}}{1.6*10^{-19}}*\frac{\left ( 9*10^{9} \right )}{4*10^{-10}}=3.6eV$

Question:27

A student performs an experiment on photoelectric effect, using two materials A and B. A plot of V_stop versus v is given in figure.

rtegte

(i) Which material A or B has a higher work function?

(ii)Given the electric charge of an electron = 1.6 x 10^-19C, find the value of h obtained from the experiment for both A and B. Comment on whether it is consistent with Einstein's theory.

Answer:

We know that $\phi_{0}=hv_{0}$ where v₀=Threshold frequency
$\frac{\phi_{0A}}{\phi_{0B}}=\frac{hv_{0A}}{hv_{0B}}=\frac{5*10^{14}}{10*10^{14}}=\frac{1}{2}\\ So\;\phi_{0B}=2\phi_{0A}$
(ii) By the differentiation of potential
$V=\frac{W}{Q}$
hv=eV
Differentiating both the sides we get h.dv=edV
$h=\frac{edV}{dv}$
Using this formula
For metal A, h=6*10^-34Js….(i)
For metal B, h=0.8*10^-33…(ii)
Since the value of plank'sconstant is not equal for both the experimental graphs, the experiment inconsistent with Einstein's theory. But the values are very close to 6.6*10^-34Js due to experimental limitation and hence can be considered consistent with Einstein theory.

Question:28

A particle A with a mass mA is moving with a velocity v and hits a particle B (mass mB) at rest (one dimensional motion). Find the change in the de Broglie wavelength of the particle A. Treat the collision as elastic.

Answer:

When the collision is elastic, law of conservation of momentum is followed.
$m_{A}v+m_{B}0=m_{A}v_{1}+m_{B}v_{2}\\ m_{A}\left ( v-v_{1} \right )=m_{B}v_{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}m_{A}v_{2}= \frac{1}{2}m_{A}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{B}v_{2}^{2}\\ v_{1}=\frac{m_{A}-m_{B}}{\left ( m_{A}-m_{B} \right )}v\;\;\;v_{2}=\frac{2m_{A}}{\left ( m_{A}-m_{B} \right )}v\\\\ \lambda_{initial}=\frac{h}{m_{A}v}\\ \lambda_{final}=\frac{h}{m_{A}v_{1}}\\ \Delta \lambda=\lambda_{final}-\lambda_{initial}=\frac{h}{m_{A}v}\left [ \frac{m_{A}+m_{B}}{m_{A}-m_{B}}-1 \right ]$

Question:29

Consider a 20 W bulb emitting light of wavelength 5000 $A^{\circ}$ and shining on a metal surface kept at a distance 2m. Assume that the metal surface has work function of 2 eV and that each atom on the metal surface can be treated as a circular disk of radius 1.5 $A^{\circ}$ .
(i) Estimate no. of photons emitted by the bulb per second. [Assume no other losses]
(ii) Will there be photoelectric emission?
(iii) How much time would be required by the atomic disk to receive energy equal to work function (2 eV)?
(iv) How many photons would atomic disk receive within time duration calculated in (iii) above?
(v) Can you explain how photoelectric effect was observed instantaneously?

Answer:

Given that P=20W
$\lambda=5000A^{\circ}=5000*10^{-10}m\\ d=2m\\ \phi =2ev\\ r=1.5*10^{10}m\\$
i) Number of photon emitted by bulb per second=
$\frac{p \lambda}{hc}=5*10^{19}sec$
ii Energy of the incident photon=
$\frac{hc}{ \lambda}=2.48\;eV$
iii Time required by the atomic disk to recieve energy is=28.4 sec
Let the time spent be $\Delta T$
$E=P*A*\Delta t=P*\pi r^{2}\Delta t$
Energy transferred by the bulb in full solid angle to atoms=
$4\pi d^{2}\phi$
$p*\pi r^{2}\Delta t=4 \pi d^{2}\phi$ $\Delta t=\frac{4d^{2}\phi}{Pr^{2}}=\frac{4*2*2*2*1.6*10^{-10}}{20*1.5*1.5*10^{-10}*10^{-10}}sec=\frac{12.8*10^{-19+20}}{5*2.25}$
(iv) Number of photon received by the atomic disk=N
$\frac{n_{1}\pi r^{2}\Delta t}{4\pi d^{2}}=\frac{n_{1}r^{2}\Delta t}{4d^{2}}\\ \\ =\frac{5 *10^{19}*1.5*1.5*10^{-20}*11.4}{4*2*2}$
$\approx 0.80\cong 1$ photon per atom
(iv) We say that photoelectric emission is instantaneous as it involves a collision between the incident photon and free-electron lasting for a very short span of time, say $\leq 10^{-9} sec$

An Overview of Concepts Covered in NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Physics Solutions Chapter 11 Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter:

NCERT Exemplar Class 12 Physics chapter 11 solutions give a brief description about one of the most important experiments done by Hertz in 1887 regarding the photoelectric effect and accorded four crucial observations about the effect of intensity of light on photocurrent, effect to potential on photocurrent, the effect of frequency of incidence on stopping potential and stopping potential doesn’t depend on incident intensity.
Class 12 Physics NCERT Exemplar solutions chapter 11 also explored the experiment done by Einstein about the photoelectric effect which gave the formula for the kinetic energy required by electrons to leave a metal surface and concluded that the incident frequency should be greater than the threshold frequency of the metal.
One other observation made in this chapter was the De Broglie hypothesis which ultimately suggested the dual nature of matter which was in agreement with the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
The lesson concludes with the Davisson and Germer Experiment, which showed the deflection in the galvanometer being proportional to the intensity of the electric bean entering the detector.

i couldnt clear 1st compartment (which held in August 2022) cbse class 12th so can I give improvement in all subjects which to be held on March 2023. tell me a solution i need more than 75% in class 12th

Upasana Barman 24th Aug, 2022

hello,

Yes you can appear for the compartment paper again since CBSE gives three chances to a candidate to clear his/her exams so you still have two more attempts. However, you can appear for your improvement paper for all subjects but you cannot appear for the ones in which you have failed.

I hope this was helpful!

Good Luck

i was not able to clear 1st compartment and now I have to give 2nd compartment so can I give improvement exam next year? plz tell me very much tensed(cbse class 12th)

Mayankjha.student2007 24th Aug, 2022

Hello dear,

If you was not able to clear 1st compartment and now you giving second compartment so YES, you can go for your improvement exam next year but if a student receives an improvement, they are given the opportunity to retake the boards as a private candidate the following year, but there are some requirements. First, the student must pass all of their subjects; if they received a compartment in any subject, they must then pass the compartment exam before being eligible for the improvement.

As you can registered yourself as private candidate for giving your improvement exam of 12 standard CBSE(Central Board of Secondary Education).For that you have to wait for a whole year which is bit difficult for you.

Positive side of waiting for whole year is you have a whole year to preparing yourself for your examination. You have no distraction or something which may causes your failure in the exams. In whole year you have to stay focused on your 12 standard examination for doing well in it. By this you get a highest marks as a comparison of others.

Believe in Yourself! You can make anything happen

All the very best.

if i am giving improvement in one subject this year, will i be able to give improvement in more subjects next year?

Nuthalapati Vyshnavi 21st Aug, 2022

Hello Student,

I appreciate your Interest in education. See the improvement is not restricted to one subject or multiple subjects and we cannot say if improvement in one subject in one year leads to improvement in more subjects in coming year.

You just need to have a revision of all subjects what you have completed in the school. have a revision and practice of subjects and concepts helps you better.

All the best.

I got an RT for 2 subjects, so do I have to give exams for all the subjects in the coming year or just the 2. pls help me

Muskan Dhalwal 18th Aug, 2022

Hi,

You just need to give the exams for the concerned two subjects in which you have got RT. There is no need to give exam for all of your subjects, you can just fill the form for the two subjects only.
