Question 239: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

Two identical photo-cathodes receive light of frequencies $${f_1}$$ and $${f_2}$$. If the velocities of the photo electrons (of mass $$m$$ ) coming out are respectively $${v_1}$$ and $${v_2},$$ then

Accepted Answer

For one photo cathode
$$h{f_1} - W = {1 \over 2}mv_1^2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( i ight)$$
For another photo cathode
$$h{f_2} - W = {1 \over 2}mv_2^2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( {ii} ight)$$
Subtracting $$(ii)$$ from $$(i)$$ we get
$$\left( {h{f_1} - W} ight) - \left( {h{f_2} - W} ight) = {1 \over 2}mv_1^2 - {1 \over 2}mv_2^2$$
$$	herefore$$  $$h\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} ight) = {m \over 2}\left( {v_1^2 - v_2^2} ight)$$
$$	herefore$$ $$v_1^2 - v_2^2 = {{2h} \over m}\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} ight)$$

Answer

$$v_1^2 - v_2^2 = {{2h} \over m}\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} \right)$$

Answer

$${v_1} + {v_2} = {\left[ {{{2h} \over m}\left( {{f_1} + {f_2}} \right)} \right]^{1/2}}$$

Answer

$$v_1^2 + v_2^2 = {{2h} \over m}\left( {{f_1} + {f_2}} \right)$$

Answer

$${v_1} - {v_2} = {\left[ {{{2h} \over m}\left( {{f_1} - {f_2}} \right)} \right]^{1/2}}$$
