MCQ

A silver sphere of radius $1\ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free-space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^2$ (where $1 < A < 10$ ). The value of $'Z '$ is

Answer

Correct option: A.

$7$

a
Let $x$ be the maximum number of photo electrons emitted.

The potential $V$ of the sphere can be calculated as : $U =\frac{ Kq }{ R }$

$V =\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times x \times 1.6 \times 10^{-1} 19}{10^{-2}}= x \times 14.4 \times 10^{-8} $

$ U = eV = x \times 14.4 \times 10^{-8} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}= x \times 23.04 \times 10^{-27} J$

From conservation of energy :

$U =\frac{ hC }{\lambda}-\phi $

$x \times 23.04 \times 10^{-27}=\frac{2 \times 10^{-25}}{200 \times 10^{-9}}-4.7 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} $

$x =\frac{10^{-18}-7.52 \times 10^{-19}}{23.04 \times 10^{-27}}=1.076 \times 10^7$

$\therefore Z =7$
