Q.

Three monochromatic sources having wavelengths 12.42 nm, 6.21 nm and 24.84 nm are placed close to each other in front of a converging lens such that equal powers from the three equal to 1mW each fall on a converging lens and then on a small spherical conductor of radius r = 1 mm and work function 62.1eV . (Assume 50% efficiency of emission and no change in effective value of work function due to photoelectric emission and potential rise) (Use hc = 1242 eV –nm) All electrons emitted by the sphere are immediately removed by some non-electrical mechanism). At t = 8s, switch S is closed, so that the sphere gets connected to the earth via a resistor of value 6.75  MΩ. Find the current (in A) flowing just after the switch is closed.( Assume total power of the light is incident on sphere)

 E1=hcλ1=124212.42=100eV
 E2=hcλ2=12426.21=200eV
 E3=hcλ3=124224.84=50eV
λ3  can’t emit photoelectrons as  E3<W.
n = Number of photoelectrons emitted per second  =Peη
Number of electrons emitted in  t time  =PηtE
Q = Charge developed on sphere  =PηteE1+PηteE2
      =Pηte[1E1+1E2]
          Q=1×103×(50100)×8×1.6×10191.6×1019[1100+1200]
  =6×105C
Potential of sphere  =KQr=9×109×6×1051×103=5.4×108V
Current  =VR=5.4×1086.75×106=80A
