Doubts in modern physics photoelectric :mad: effect

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around questions related to the photoelectric effect and energy transitions in hydrogen atoms, with a focus on preparing for an upcoming exam. Key points include the determination of photon emissions from hydrogen atoms, the impact of energy absorption on electron orbital momentum, and the behavior of X-ray intensity when varying heating currents. The relationship between light frequency, intensity, and saturation current is also examined, with a clarification that while saturation current remains unchanged, maximum kinetic energy does not double. Additionally, the relationship between photo current and distance from a point source is discussed, emphasizing the expected graph shape.

i know theses qns may look lame but my answers are not matching with the book .pls help as i have a MAJOR EXAM coming up tomorrow:eek:

1.three photons are coming out from an excited ample of hydrogen atoms with energies of 12.1 10.2 and 1.9 eV respectively then which of the following is true?these photons must come from
1.1 atom
2.2 atoms
3.3 atoms
4.2 or 3 atoms

whats the logic here?

2.A hydrogen atom in ground state absorbs 10.2 eV of energy.the orbital moment of it's electron will increase by...
1.05x10^-34
2.11x10^-34
3.16x10^-34
4.22x10^-34


3.x ray from a coolidge tube is incident is incident on a aluminium foil(very thin).the intensity of the x ray transmitted is found to be I0
the heating current is increased as ro increase the temperature of the filament.the intensity of x ray transmitted will be
1.zero
2.<I0
3.>I0
4.=I0

4. :cry: :MOST IMP DBT
The frequency and intensity of light source are doubled then which of the following statement(s) is/are true...
1.saturation current remains unchaged
2.maximum kinetic energy is doubledd
answer is a is true b is false
5.this one is also urgent
a point source causes photoelectric effect from a small metal plate .which of the following graphs best represents the relation between the photo current and distance...
the graph given is a rectangular hyperbola in the first quadrant...
how??

You can start by giving use your answers and working. And by the way, question one is a completely legitimate question, think about how many electrons each hydrogen atom has and what are the energy states of a hydrogen atom.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
