A photon and an electron, each of 20 eV energy, move in free space. The ratio of linear momentum of electron pe to that of photon pPh, pepPh is: [Take speed of light = 3 108 m s-1, charge of electron = -1.6 10-19 C and mass of electron = 9 10-31 kg]

  1. 275
  2. 2450
  3. 1250
  4. 225

Answer

(4) 225

Solution

For a photon of energy E, momentum is:

pPh = Ec

For an electron of energy E, momentum is:

pe = 2mE

Taking their ratio:

pepPh = 2mEE/c = c 2mE

Given E = 20 eV = 20 1.6 10-19 J = 3.2 10-18 J:

pepPh = (3 108) 2 9 10-313.2 10-18 = (3 108) 5.625 10-13 = (3 108)(7.5 10-7) = 225

A ray of light with wavelength is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely 1, 2 and 3. The threshold wavelength of these photoelectric cells are 1, 2, and 3, respectively and the magnitude of stopping potentials of these cells are V1, V2 and V3, respectively.
