NEET 2021 · PhysicsMatter wavePrevious Year Question

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength λ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If a photoelectron of mass m emitted from the surface has de Broglie wavelength λ_d, then:

Answer: (A) λ = (2mc/h)λ_d². Answer: (a) λ = (2mc/h)λ_d² Solution: Photon energy goes fully into electron KE (φ ≈ 0): hc/λ = p²/2m = h²/(2mλ_d²).

  1. A.λ = (2mc/h)λ_d²
  2. B.λ = (2h/mc)λ_d²
  3. C.λ = (m/hc)λ_d²
  4. D.λ = (mc/h)λ_d²

Correct Answer

(A) λ = (2mc/h)λ_d²

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (a) λ = (2mc/h)λ_d² Solution: Photon energy goes fully into electron KE (φ ≈ 0): hc/λ = p²/2m = h²/(2mλ_d²). Solve: λ = (2mc/h)·λ_d².

PhysThe graph which shows the variation of (1/λ)² and the kinetic energy E of a free particle (where λ is the de Broglie wavelength of the particle) is:PhysA proton and an α-particle are accelerated from rest to the same energy. The de Broglie wavelengths λ_p and λ_α are in the ratio:PhysThe de Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (kelvin) and mass m is:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
