Chap 11 : Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter

Important Questions for Board Exams
Board Weightage 4 Marks (Chap 11)

1. What is photon & photo electric effect? Explain the laws of photoelectric
emission.

2. Define the term (i) ‘cut-off voltage’ and (ii) ‘threshold frequency (iii) ‘work
function’ of a metal (iv) Stopping potential, in relation to the photoelectric
effect.

Using Einstein’s photoelectric equation show how the cut-off voltage &
threshold frequency for a given photosensitive material can be
determined with the help of a suitable graph.
3. Write Einstein’s photoelectric equation & point out ant two characteristic
properties of photons on which this equation is based.
Briefly explain the three observed features which can be explained by
this equation.

4. Why photoelectric effect cannot be explained on the basis of wave nature

of light? Give reasons.

5. State and explain de Broglie relation for matter waves.

6. Describe briefly how the Davision-Germer experiment demonstrated the

wave nature of electrons.

7. An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential V. obtain the

expression for the de Broglie wavelength associated with it.

8. An electron and a proton, each have de Broglie wavelength of 1.00 nm.

(i) Find the ratio of their momenta. (ii) compare the kinetic energy of the
proton with that of the electron. Ans (i) 1:1 (ii) 5.4 x 10 -4
