In the phenomenon of electric discharge through gases at low pressure,the coloured glow in the tube appears as a result of
excitation of electrons in the atoms
collision between the atoms of the gas
collisions between the charged particles emitted from the cathode and the atoms of the gas
collision between different electrons of the atoms of the gas
Gases begin to conduct electricity at low pressure because
at low pressures gases turn to plasma
colliding electrons can acquire higher kinetic energy due to increased mean free path leading to ionisation of atoms
atoms break up into electrons and protons
the electrons in atoms can move freely at low pressures
Einstein's work on photoelectric effect gives support to
E = mc2
E = hν
hν = 1/2 mv2
E = h/λ
Light of wavelength 4000 angstrom is incident on a sodium surface for which the threshold wavelength of photoelectrons is 5420 angstrom. The work function is
4.58 electron volt
2.31 electron volt
1.14 electron volt
0.57 electron volt
An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 1000 volt. Velocity is nearly
3.8 × 107 m s-1

5.7 × 107 m s-1
If h is Planck's constant, the momentum of a photon of wavelength 0.01 Å is
h × 10-2

h × 1012
A photon of energy 10.2 eV corresponds to light of wavelength λ0. Due to an electron transition from n = 2 to n = 1 in a hydrogen atom, light of wavelength λ is emitted. If we take into account the recoil of an atom, when a photon is emitted,
λ = λ0
λ < λ0
λ > λ0
The data is not sufficient to reach a conclusion.
A radiotransmitter operates at a frequency 1000 kHz and a power of 66 kW. Find the number of photons emitted per second.
