The beam of light has three wavelengths 4144A~,4972A~4144 Ã, 4972 Ã and 6216A~6216 Ã with a total intensity of 3.6×10−3Wm23.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Wm}^{2} equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on the area 1cm21 \mathrm{ cm}^{2} of a clean metallic surface of work function 2.3eV2.3 \mathrm{eV}. Assume that there is n0\mathrm{n} 0 loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in 2s2 \mathrm{ s}

Options

  1. A2×1092 \times 10^{9}
  2. B1.075×10121.075 \times 10^{12}
  3. C9×1089 \times 10^{8}
  4. D3.75×1063.75 \times 10^{6}

Correct answer

B. 1.075×10121.075 \times 10^{12}

Step-by-step solution

As we know, threshold wavelength \begin{array}{c} \left(\lambda_{0}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\phi} \\ \Rightarrow \lambda_{0}=\frac{\left(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\right) \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{2.3 \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)}=5.404 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \end{array} ⇒λ0=5404A~…\Rightarrow \lambda_{0}=5404 Ã… Hence, wavelength 4144A~…4144 Ã… and 4972A~…4972 Ã… will emit electron from the metal surface. For each wavelength energy incident on the surface per unit time = intensity of each ×\times area of the surface wavelength =3.6×10−33×(lcm)2=1.2×10−7joule =\frac{3.6 \times 10^{-3}}{3} \times(\mathrm{lcm})^{2}=1.2 \times 10^{-7} \text{joule } Therefore, energy incident on the surface for each wavelength in 2 s2 \mathrm{~s} E=(1.2×10−7)×2=2.4×10−7 J\mathrm{E}=\left(1.2 \times 10^{-7}\right) \times 2=2.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~J} Number of photons n1\mathrm{n}_{1} due to wavelength 4144A~…4144 Ã… n1=(2.4×10−7)(4144×10−10)(6.63×10−34)(3×108)=0.5×1012n_{1}=\frac{\left(2.4 \times 10^{-7}\right)\left(4144 \times 10^{-10}\right)}{\left(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\right)\left(3 \times 10^{8}\right)}=0.5 \times 10^{12} Number of photons n2\mathrm{n}_{2} due to the wavelength 4972A~…4972 Ã… n2=(2.4×10−7)(4972×10−10)(6.63×10−34)(3×108)=0.572×1012\mathrm{n}_{2}=\frac{\left(2.4 \times 10^{-7}\right)\left(4972 \times 10^{-10}\right)}{\left(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\right)\left(3 \times 10^{8}\right)}=0.572 \times 10^{12} Therefore total number of photoelectrons liberated in 2 s2 \mathrm{~s} \begin{aligned} \mathrm{N} &=\mathrm{n}_{1}+\mathrm{n}_{2} \\ &=0.5 \times 10^{12}+0.575 \times 10^{12} \\ &=1.075 \times 10^{12} \end{aligned}
