How many photoelectrons are ejected per second in the experiment represented by the graph of FIGURE EX38.2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are6250photo electrons are ejected per seconds.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given, the graph between the current and the potential.

We have to find the photoelectrons ejected per second.

02

Simplify

the current is found out from the graph is

I=10μAi=10-5A

we know that the charge of one electron is 1.6×10-19C.

then the photoelectron per second is ejected is ,

n=Ien=10-151.6×10-19n=6250

In a photoelectric-effect experiment, the stopping potential was measured for several different wavelengths of incident light. The data are as follows:

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine

(a) the metal used for the cathode and

(b) an experimental value for Planck’s constant .

For what wavelength of light does a 100 mW laser deliver 2.50×1017photons per second?

Electrons in a photoelectric-effect experiment emerge from an aluminum surface with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.30 eV. What is the wavelength of the light?

In the atom interferometer experiment shown in Figure 38.13laser cooling techniques were used to cool a dilute vapor of sodium atoms to a temperature of 0.0010K=1.0mK. The ultracold atoms passed through a series of collimating apertures to form the atomic beam you see circling the figure from the left. The standing light waves were created from a laser beam with a wavelength of 590nm.

a. What is the rms speed vmeof a sodium atom (A-23)in a gas at this temperature 1.0mK?

b. By treating the laser beam as if it were a diffraction grating. cakculate the first-order diffraction angle of a sodium atom traveling with the rms speed of part a.

c. allow far apart are points Band Cif the second sanding wave is 10cmfrom the first?

d. Because interference is observed between the two paths, each individual atom is apparently present at both point Band point C. Describe, in your own words, what this experiment tells you about the nature of matter.
