change in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current
In photoelectric effect when monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency fall on the photo-sensitive plate called cathode, the photoelectrons are emitted which get accelerated towards anode. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in the photoelectric current.
Using the incident radiations of a fixed frequency, it is found that the photoelectric current increases linearly with the intensity of incident light as shown in figure. Hence, a photocell employs photoelectric effect to convert change in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current.
The ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant and that of the moment of inertia is the dimension of
frequency
velocity
angular momentum
time
A.
frequency
h - Planck's constant
E - Energy of photon
And I = moment of inertia = MR2
Alternative method:-
Thus dimension of h/I is same as frequency.
A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, h vo, If photons of energy 2hvo, fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4 x 106 m/s. When the photon energy is increased to 5 hv,, then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be
2 × 106 m/s
2 × 107 m/s
8 × 105 m/s
8 × 106 m/s

8 × 106 m/s
The solution to our problem consists in Einstein's photoelectric equation.
Einstein's photoelectric equation can be written as
Dividing equation (ii) by eq (i)
The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than 1 o .ie, number of photons less than 1 % are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.
Hard X-rays for the study of fractures in bones should have a minimum wavelength of 10' m. The accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be
< 124 kV
> 124 kV
between 60 kV and 70 kV
= 100 kV
A.
< 124 kV
From conservation of energy the kinetic energy of electron equals the maximum photon energy (we neglect the he work function because it is normally so small compared to eVo ).
eVo = h vmax
= 124 kV
Hence, accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be less than 124 kV.
In photoelectric effect, the electrons are ejected from metals if the incident light has a certain minimum

B.
frequency
In photoelectric effect for a given photosensitive material, there exists a certain minimum cut-off frequency, called the threshold frequency, below which no emission of photoelectrons takes place no matter how intense the light is.
A leaf which contains only green pigments, is illuminated by a laser light of wavelength 6328 pm. It would appear to be
brown
black
red
green
B.
black
If an object reflects the colour of light incident on it, it will appear with that colour but if object absorbs the colour of light, it will appear to be black. since the given wavelength does not belong to green, so it will be absorbed by the leaf and hence, it would appear to be black.
