JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 6)

The magnetic field associated with a light wave is given, at the origin, by B = B0 [sin(3.14 $$ \times $$ 107)ct + sin(6.28 $$ \times $$ 107)ct]. If this light falls on a silver plate having a work function of 4.7 eV, what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons ?
(Take c = 3 $$ \times $$ 108 ms$$-$$1, h = 6.6 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$34J-s)
6.82 eV
12.5 eV
8.52 eV
7.72 eV

Explanation

Given that,

B = B0[sin (3.14 $$ \times $$ 107) ct + sin(6.28 $$ \times $$ 107) ct]

This light wave is non-monochromotic wave as here is two different frequency in the magnetic field.

Given work function ($$\phi $$) = 4.7 eV

Question says to find the maximum kinetic energy, so we have to use maximum frequency among the available frequency.

As,

Kmax = Emax $$-$$ $$\phi $$

Emax = hF

= h $$ \times $$ $${\omega \over {2\pi }}$$

= 6.6 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$34 $$ \times $$ $${{6.28 \times {{10}^7} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {2\pi }}$$

= 6.6$$ \times $$ 3 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$19 J

= $${{6.6 \times 3 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}} \over {1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}eV$$

= 12.375 $$eV$$

$$ \therefore $$  Kmax = 12.375 $$-$$ 4.7

= 7.675 $$eV$$

$$ \simeq $$  7.7 $$eV$$
