The radiation corresponding to 3 → 2 transition of a hydrogen atom...

The radiation corresponding to 3→23 \to 2 transition of a hydrogen atom falls on a gold surface to generate photoelectrons. These electrons are passed through a magnetic field of 5×10−4T5 \times {10}^{- 4}T. Assume that the radius of the largest circular path followed by these electrons is 7mm7mm, the work function of the metal is:
(Mass of electron =9.1×10−31kg= 9 . 1 \times {10}^{- 31}kg)The radiation corresponding to 3 → 2 transition of a hydrogen atom falls on a gold surface to generate photoelectrons.

Options

  1. A1.36eV1 . 36eV
  2. B1.88eV1 . 88eV
  3. C0.16eV0 . 16eV
  4. D0.82eV0 . 82eV

Correct answer

D. 0.82eV0 . 82eV

Step-by-step solution

The radiation corresponding to 3 → 2 transition of a hydrogen atom falls on a gold surface to generate photoelectrons.

3→2⇒1.89eV3 \to 2 ⇒ 1 . 89eV
5×10−4Tr=7mm5 \times {10}^{- 4}Tr = 7mm
r=mvqB⇒mv=qrBr = \dfrac{mv}{qB} ⇒ mv = qrB
⇒E=P22m=(qRB)22m⇒ E = \dfrac{{P}^{2}}{2m} = \dfrac{( qRB{)}^{2}}{2m}
=(1.6×10−19×7×10−3×5×10−4)22×9.1×10−31Joule= \dfrac{{\left(1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19} \times 7 \times {10}^{- 3} \times 5 \times {10}^{- 4}\right)}^{2}}{2 \times 9 . 1 \times {10}^{- 31}Joule}
=3136×10−5218.2×10−31×1.6×10−19eV= \dfrac{3136 \times {10}^{- 52}}{18 . 2 \times {10}^{- 31} \times 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}}eV
=1.077eV= 1 . 077eV
We know work function = energy incident −- (KE)electron( KE{)}_{\text{electron}}

ϕ=1.89−1.077=0.813eVϕ = 1 . 89 - 1 . 077 = 0 . 813eV
