Q. 32
Consider the situation of the previous problem. Consider the fastest electron emitted parallel to the large metal plate. Find the displacement of this electron parallel to its initial velocity before it strikes the large metal plate.
Answer :
electric field
Acceleration of charged particle is given by,
Where q is the charge on electron
E is the electric field
m is the mass of electron
∴
To calculate time, we know that
∴
.
From Q: 31 the value of kinetic energy =1.2eV [from eq (1)]
∴ K.E. = J
We also know that
∴
∴ Displacement, S=v× t

A small metal plate (work function ϕ) is kept at a distance d from a singly ionized, fixed ion. A monochromatic light beam is incident on the metal plate and photoelectrons are emitted. Find the maximum wavelength of the light beam so that some of the photoelectrons may go round the ion along a circle.

Physics - ExemplarA horizontal cesium plate (ϕ = 1.9 eV) is moved vertically downward at a constant speed v in a room full of radiation of wavelength 250 nm and above. What should be the minimum value of v so that the vertically upward component of the velocity is non-positive for each photoelectron?
