Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is photocurrent?

💡 Hint: Think about how electrons behave when they interact with light.

Question 2

Easy

What happens to photocurrent if intensity is increased?

💡 Hint: Remember, more intensity means more potential for ejection of electrons.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What happens to the photocurrent when the intensity of light is increased?

  • It decreases
  • It stays the same
  • It increases linearly

💡 Hint: Think about how more light can lead to more electrons being ejected.

Question 2

True or False: The threshold frequency is the maximum frequency of light that can produce photocurrent.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember, it's about the requirement to eject electrons.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the photocurrent at 100 W/m² is measured to be 1 mA, calculate the photocurrent at 200 W/m² under the same conditions (frequency and potential).

💡 Hint: Use the linear relationship between intensity and photocurrent.

Question 2

Discuss how changing the electron emission material (like from zinc to cesium) affects photocurrent for the same intensity of light and frequency.

💡 Hint: Consider how the threshold frequency plays a role in this scenario.
