Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of incident light the stopping potential increases. Reason R: Increase in intensity of light increases the rate of photoelectrons emitted, provided the frequency of incident light is greater than threshold frequency. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Einstein's photoelectric equation: eV_s = h u - phi where: * V_s = stopping potential * u = frequency of light * phi = work function * Intensity formula: I = fracn h uA cdot t (where n is rate of photons). ### Core Logic * **Assertion Analysis:** Stopping potential V_s depends strictly linearly on frequency u and work function phi. It is completely independent of the beam intensity. Therefore, Assertion A is **false**. * **Reason Analysis:** Intensity tracks the flux counts of photons per second. Increasing intensity drives up the quantum count of ejected charges, given u > u_0. Thus, Reason R is **true**. ### Pattern Recognition Stopping Potential leftrightarrow Frequency/Energy characteristic. Photo-current / Emission Rate leftrightarrow Photon Intensity/Flux counts. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Q17 2025 de Broglie Wavelength of an Electron
An electron of mass 'm' with an initial velocity vecv=v_0hati(v_0>0) enters an electric field vecE=-E_0hatk If the initial de Broglie wavelength is lambda_0, the value after time t would be :-
  • A. fraclambda_0sqrt1+frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2
  • B. fraclambda_0sqrt1-frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2
  • C. lambda_0
  • D. lambda_0sqrt1+frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2

Solution

### Related Formula The de Broglie wavelength relation matching a moving particle momentum is given by: lambda = frachp = frachm|vecv| ### Core Logic Calculate the electric acceleration force acting component on the charge : veca = fracqvecEm = frac(-e)(-E_0hatk)m = fraceE_0mhatk Applying kinematics to find velocity at time t [cite: 127, 718]: vecv(t) = v_0hati + left(fraceE_0tm ight)hatk ### Step 1: Calculating Velocity Magnitude and Final Wavelength Find the magnitude of the updated velocity vector: |vecv| = sqrtv_0^2 + left(fraceE_0tm ight)^2 = v_0sqrt1 + frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2 Substitute this into the wavelength equation [cite: 128, 719]: lambda' = frachmv_0sqrt1 + frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2 Since initial wavelength matches lambda_0 = frachmv_0 , the expression simplifies to : lambda' = fraclambda_0sqrt1 + frace^2E_0^2t^2m^2v_0^2 ### Pattern Recognition The perpendicular field increases the particle's overall velocity and momentum. Since wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum, it must decrease, which rules out options with a plus sign in the numerator. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
Q8 2025 Wave Particle Duality
Which of the following phenomena can not be explained by wave theory of light? [cite: 52-53]
  • A. Reflection of light
  • B. Diffraction of light
  • C. Refraction of light
  • D. Compton effect

Solution

### Core Logic * **Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction** can all be fully explained using Huygens' principle and wave theory paths [cite: 54, 47, 66]. * **Compton effect** involves the scattering of an X-ray photon by an electron, demonstrating explicit momentum conversion. This process requires treating light strictly as localized particle packets (photons) and cannot be captured by continuous classical wave formulations. ### Step 1: Conclusion Hence, the Compton effect is the correct answer as it relies entirely on the particle nature of electromagnetic waves. ### Pattern Recognition Phenomena such as the Photoelectric Effect, Compton Scattering, and Blackbody Radiation serve as absolute foundational evidence for the particle/quantum layout of radiation, while Interference, Diffraction, and Polarization confirm wave configurations. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
Q 2025 de Broglie Wavelength
If lambda and K are de Broglie Wavelength and kinetic energy, respectively, of a particle with constant mass. The correct graphical representation for the particle will be :-
  • A.
  • B.
  • C.
  • D.

Solution

### Related Formula lambda = frachsqrt2mK lambda^2 = left(frach^22mright) frac1K ### Core Logic Rearranging the de Broglie equation displays a parabolic relationship when evaluating squared attributes or corresponding axes coordinates. Given standard lambda vs frac1sqrtK layout tracking, it exhibits an upward facing parabolic behavior matching option (2) layout. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
Q11 2025 Photoelectric Effect
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Emission of electrons in photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electron potential to the photoemissive substance. [cite: 1, 2] Reason (R): A negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with frequency of incident radiation. [cite: 1, 2] In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A. text(A) is false but (R) is true.
  • B. text(A) is true but (R) is false.
  • C. textBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • D. textBoth (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Solution

### Related Formula eV_0 = hnu - phi_0 ### Core Logic Assertion (A) is true because applying a negative stopping potential decelerates the emitted photoelectrons and drops the output current down to zero. Reason (R) is true because the stopping potential V_0 = left(fracheright)nu - fracphi_0e is linear with frequency nu. However, the linearity of V_0 vs frequency does not explain the physical mechanism behind why a negative potential stops electron emission. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
