Asok Kumar Das and Chittaranjan Dasgupta Solutions for Chapter: Photoelectric Emission and Production and Properties of X-Rays, Exercise 1: EXERCISE 19

Potential difference applied to an X -ray tube is $5\mathrm{kV}$ and the current through it is $3.2 \mathrm{mA}$. The number of electrons striking the target per second is Take $e=1.6\times {10}^{-19}\mathrm{C}$

Hard X-rays for the study of fractures in bones should have a minimum wavelength of ${10}^{-11} \mathrm{m}$. The accelerating voltage for electrons in X -rays machine should be 

The anode voltage of a photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength $\lambda$ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current I of the photocell varies as follows. Fig. $19.18$

When monochromatic point source of light is at a distance of $0.2 \mathrm{m}$ from a photoelectric cell, the cut-off voltage and the saturation current are respectively $0.6$ volt and $18.0 \mathrm{mA}$. If the same source is placed $0.6 \mathrm{m}$ away from the photoelectric cell, then

A $200 \mathrm{W}$ sodium street lamp emits yellow light of wavelength $0.6\mathrm{\mu m}$. Assuming it to be $25\%$ efficient in converting electrical energy to light, the number of photons of yellow light it emits per second is:

Two radiations of photons energy $1\mathrm{eV}$ and $2.5\mathrm{eV}$, successively illuminate a photosensitive metallic surface of work function $0.5\mathrm{eV}$. The ratio of the maximum speeds of the emitted electrons is
