Question 371: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

The graph of kinetic energy against the frequency $$v$$ of incident light is as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph and intercept on $$X$$-axis respectively are

Accepted Answer

For photoelectric effect,
$$(\mathrm{KE})_{\max }=h 
u-\phi_0$$
where, $$\phi_0$$ is the work function of metal.
On comparing the Eq. (i) with straight line equation $$y=m x+c$$, we get
Slope, $$m=h$$ and intercept on $$y, c=-\phi_0$$ and $$\phi_0=h v_0$$
where, $$v_0$$ is threshold frequency.
So, for the graph of kinetic energy (KE) against the frequency ($$v$$).
Slope $$=$$ Planck's constant
and intercept on $$X$$-axis = threshold frequency

Answer

maximum KE threshold frequency

Answer

Planck's constant, threshold frequency

Answer

Planck's constant, work function

Answer

work function, maximum KE
