Monochromatic light (that is, light of a single wavelength) is to be absorbed by a sheet of photographic film and thus recorded on the film. Photon absorption will occur if the photon energy equals or exceeds 0.6eV, the smallest amount of energy needed to dissociate an AgBr molecule in the film. (a) What is the greatest wavelength of light that can be recorded by the film? (b) In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength located?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The greatest wavelength of light that can be recorded by the film is 2.1渭尘.
  2. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum is infrared.

Step by step solution

01

Find the expression for the greatest wavelength of light

The expression for frequency of the monochromatic wave is given by,

f=c

Here, localid="1663053548195" fis the frequency, localid="1663053597284" is the wavelength, localid="1663053648806" cis the speed of the light.

The expression for energy of the photon is given by,

localid="1663053690989" E=hf

Here, localid="1663053732860" his the Planck鈥檚 constant.

Combine the above two equations.

localid="1663053778641" E=hc

The minimum energy corresponds to the greatest wavelength recorded by the film is given by,

localid="1663053823945" Emin=hcgreatest

localid="1663053872627" greatest=hcEmin 鈥︹. (1)

02

Determine the greatest wavelength of light

(a)

Substitute 0.6eVfor Emin,6.62610-34Js, for h, and 3108for cin equation (1).

greatest=6.62610-34J3108m/s0.6eV1.610-19J1eV=2.110-6m1渭尘10-6m=2.1渭尘

Therefore, the greatest wavelength of light that can be recorded by the film is 2.1渭尘.

03

Determine the region of the electromagnetic spectrum 

(b)

The infrared region in the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 0.7渭尘to 1mm.

The wavelength 2.1渭尘is in the range of 0.7渭尘to 1mm. So, the wavelength is located in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Therefore, the region of the electromagnetic spectrum is infrared.

The work function of tungsten is 4.50 eV. Calculate the speed of the fastest electrons ejected from a tungsten surface when light whose photon energy is 5.80 eV shines on the surface.

In the photoelectric effect (for a given target and a given frequency of the incident light), which of these quantities, if any, depending on the intensity of the incident light beam: (a) the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons, (b) the maximum photoelectric current, (c) the stopping potential, (d) the cut-off frequency?

X rays with a wavelength of 71 pm are directed onto a gold foil and eject tightly bound electrons from the gold atoms. The ejected electrons then move in circular paths of radius r in a region of the uniform magnetic field B. For the fastest of the ejected electrons, the product Br is equal to localid="1664288408568" 1.8810-4Tm. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy of those electrons and (b) the work done in removing them from the gold atoms.

The highest achievable resolving power of a microscope is limited only by the wavelength used; that is, the smallest item that can be distinguished has dimensions about equal to the wavelength. Suppose one wishes to 鈥渟ee鈥 inside an atom. Assuming the atom to have a diameter of 100pm, this means that one must be able to resolve a width of, say, 10pm.

(a) If an electron microscope is used, what minimum photon energy is required?

(b) If a light microscope is used, what minimum photon energy is required?

(c) Which microscope seems more practical? Why?

(a) At what rate does solar energy arrive at the panel? (b) At what rate are solar photons absorbed by the panel? Assume that the solar radiation is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 550 nm, and that all the solar radiation striking the panel is absorbed. (c) How long would it take for a 鈥渕ole of photons鈥 to be absorbed by the panel?
