A silver sphere of radius and work function is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere get charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is (where ). Find the value of Z.

Important Questions on Photoelectric Emission and Production and Properties of X-Rays


The of electron is and stopping potential is , then the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is :


This question has statement- and statement of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. A metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency (the threshold frequency). The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are and respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled, both the and are doubled.
Statement-II The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light:


Photoelectric effect experiments are performed using three different metal plates p, q and r having work functions and respectively, A light beam containing wavelength of and with equal intensities illuminates each of the plates. The correct graph for the experiment is, see Fig.
