1 Chapter-11 DUAL NATURE OF MATTER AND RADIATION

2 Work function (j o ): The minimum energy required for an electron to escape from the surface of a metal i.e. The energy required for free electrons to escape from the metal surface

3 Work function depends on the properties of the metal and nature of the surface. Work function of alkali metals is less as compared to other metals. Work function of metals decreases with increase in atomic number.

4 Cesium is the best photosensitive metal as it has least Work function. Infrared radiation can not produce photoelectric effect on any metal surface

5 The phenomenon of emission of electrons from metal surfaces exposed to light energy of suitable frequency is called photoelectric effect.

6 Photoelectric current increases linearly with increase in intensity of incident light. I μa Intensity (L) i.e. the number of electrons emitted per second is directly proportional to intensity of light.

7 Photoelectric current increases with increase in +ve potential applied to the anode. I μa V S L L 2 2 > L 1 Saturation Current L Potential of A (V) When all the photoelectrons reach the plate A, current becomes maximum and is known as saturation current.

8 When the potential is decreased, the current decreases but does not become zero at zero potential. i.e.even in the absence of accelerating potential, a few photoelectrons manage to reach the plate on their own due to their K.E.

9 When ve potential is applied to the plate A with respect to cathode, photoelectric current becomes zero at a particular value of ve potential called stopping potential or cutoff potential. Intensity of incident light does not affect the stopping potential. If K max is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron, K max =e V o

10 I μa Saturation Current 2 2 > 1 1 V S 2 V S 1 0 Potential of A (V) + The saturation current is same for different frequencies of the incident lights of same intensity. Higher the frequency, higher the stopping potential. i.e. V S α

11 Variation of stopping potential with frequency of incident radiation V S (V) 1 ν o 1 ν o 2 2 Stopping potential 0 varies linearly with the frequency of incident radiation There exists a certain minimum cut-off frequency ν 0 for which the stopping potential is zero.

14 Photon concept of electromagnetic radiation In interaction of radiation with matter, radiation behaves as if it is made up of particles called photons. Each photon has energy E (=hν) and momentum p (= h ν/c). All photons of light of a particular frequency ν, or wavelength λ, photon energy is independent of intensity of radiation.

15 Photons are electrically neutral and are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. In a photon-particle collision, the total energy and total momentum are conserved. However, the number of photons may not be conserved in a collision. The photon may be absorbed or a new photon may be created.

16 Dual nature of matter The wave associated with material particles in motion is called matter wave or de Broglie wave. h p h mv Matter wave is neither electromagnetic nor mechanical
