The maximum wavelength light that will eject electrons from metal I via the photoelectric effect is410nm. For metal2, it is280nm. What would be the potential difference if these two metals were put in contact?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The contact potential between the two metals will beV1V2=1.4V

Step by step solution

01

The contact potential between two metal and kinetic energy of photons.

The contact potential between two metal is given by-

V1V2=21e 鈥... (1)

Where;

1,2Work functions of metal 1 and 2

V1,V2Potential of metal 1 and 2

eElementary unit charge

Also, kineticenergy of photons ejected while being struck by photons is-

KE=hc 鈥... (2)

Where;

hPlanck's constant

cSpeed of light in vacuum

Work function of material

Wavelength of photon

Convert given wavelength of metals into standard units

(410nm)(1109m1nm)=4.1107mn(280nm)(1109m1nm)=2.8107m

02

Find the work functions of the metals

To find the work functions of the metals, equation (2) is used, with the condition that the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons will be 0 for the maximum possible wavelength usedmaxthen solved for :

KE=hc0=hcmax=hcmax

Substitute 6.631034J.s forh,3108m/s forc, and 4.1107mfor ,

1=cmax=(6.631034J.s)(3108m/s)(4.1107m)=4.851019J

Substitute 6.631034J.s forh,3108m/s forc, and 2.8107mfor ,

1=cmax=(6.631034J.s)(3108m/s)(2.8107m)=7.11019J

03

Find the contact potential between two metals. 

Then substitute those into equation (1), along with 1.61019Cfor e:

V1V2=21e=(7.11019J)(4.851019J)(1.61019C)=1.41V

Thus, the contact potential between the two metals will beV1V2=1.4V

Verify that the probabilities shown in Table 9.1 for four distinguishable oscillators sharing energy 2未贰agree with the exact probabilities given by equation (9-9).

Exercise 54 calculates the three oscillator distributions'E=0values in the special case wherekBTis15. Using a very common approximation technique. show that in the more general low-temperature limit,kBT,theoccupation numbers become/kBT,e5/kBT, and 1, for the distinguishable. boson. and fermion cases, respectively. Comment on these results. (Note: Although we assume thatkBTN0/(2s+1). we also still assume that levels are closely spaced-that is kBh0.),

:In a certain design of helium-neon laser, the chamber containing these gases has a perfect mirror at one end. as usual, but only a window at the other, Beyond the window, is a region of free air space and then the second mirror, which is partially reflecting, allowing the beam to exit. The resonant cavity between the mirrors thus has a region free of the helium-neon gas-the "lasing material"-in which you can insert something. If you insert a sheet of clear plastic at any orientation in this region between the mirrors, the laser beam disappears. If the same sheet is placed in the beam outside the partially reflecting mirror, the beam passes through it, regardless of the orientation. Why?

By carrying out the integration suggested just before equation (9-28), show that the average energy of a one-dimensional oscillator in the limit kBTh蝇0iskBT.

There is a simple argument, practically by inspection, that distributions(9-31),(9-32), and(9-33)should agree whenever occupation number is much less than 1. Provide the argument.
