Question
The electric field associated with a monochromatic beam becomes zero 1.2 × 1015 times per second. Find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons when this light falls on a metal surface whose work function is 2.0eV.

Answer
The electric field becomes 01.2 × 1045 times per second.
$\therefore$ Frequency $=\frac{1.2\times10^{15}}{2}=0.6\times10^{15}$
$\text{hv}=\phi_0+\text{kE}$
$\Rightarrow\text{hv}-\phi_0=\text{KE}$
$\Rightarrow\text{KE}=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times0.6\times10^{15}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}-2$
$=0.482\text{ev}=0.48\text{ev.}$

A p-n junction germanium diode when forward biased has a drop of 0.3V which is assumed to be independent of current. The current in excess of 10mA through the diode produces a large Joule-heating which damages (burns) the diode. If we want to use a 1.5V battery to forward-bias the diode, what should be the value of resistor used in series with the diode, so that the maximum current does not exceed 6mA?
