Question

Draw a graph showing variation of photocurrent with anode potential for a particular intensity of incident radiation. Mark saturation current and stopping potential.
By how much would the stopping potential for a given photosensitive surface go up if the frequency of the incidentradiations were to be increased from $4\times10^{15}\text{ }\text{Hz}\text{ }\text{to}8\text{ }\times10^{15}\text{ }\text{Hz}$?

Answer

Graph:

We know that $e\text{V}_0=hv-\phi$

$\therefore{e{\text{V}_1}}=hv_1-\phi$

and ${e{\text{V}_2}}=hv_2-{\phi}$

Increase in potential

$\therefore\text{V}_2-\text{V}_1=\frac{h}{e}(v_2-v _1)$

$ =\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}(8\times10^{15}-4\times10^{15})\text{V}$

$=16.5\text{ }\text{V}$

A converging lens and a diverging mirror are placed at a separation of 15cm. The focal length of the lens is 25cm and that of the mirror is 40cm. Where should a point source be placed between the lens and the mirror so that the light, after getting reflected by the mirror and then getting transmitted by the lens, comes out parallel to the principal axis?

A traffic policeman sounds a whistle to stop a car-driver approaching towards him. The car-driver does not stop and takes the plea in court that because of the Doppler shift, the frequency of the whistle reaching him might have gone beyond the audible limit of 20kHz and he did not hear it. Experiments showed that the whistle emits a sound with frequency close to 16kHz. Assuming that the claim of the driver is true, how fast was he driving the car? Take the speed of sound in air to be 330m/s. Is this speed practical with today's technology?
