NEET Dual Nature of Matter — Set 4

Question 1

Light of frequency $ 6.5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} $ is incident on a metal with work function $ 2.3 \, \text{eV} $. What is the maximum kinetic energy in eV? (Take $ h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J s} $)

Accepted Answer

$ E = h v = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 6.5 \times 10^{14} = 4.3095 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} $. $ E = \frac{4.3095 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 2.693 \, \text{eV} $. $ K_{\max} = E - \phi_0 = 2.693 - 2.3 \approx 0.393 \, \text{eV} $.

Question 2

Which of the following observations contradicts the wave theory of light in the photoelectric effect?

Accepted Answer

The wave theory predicts energy absorption over time, but photoelectric emission is instantaneous (within $ 10^{-9} \, \text{s} $), supporting the photon model.

Question 3

Which phenomenon provided evidence that light behaves as if it consists of quanta of energy?

Accepted Answer

The photoelectric effect demonstrated that light interacts with matter in discrete packets (photons), explained by Einstein’s quantum theory.
