Is it in the visible range?arrow_forwardWhat should be the minimum applied potential for complete stoppage of photocurrent in an experimental if the target material is copper and the incident frequency is 2.7x1015Hz.arrow_forward
- A 480 nm laser beam is incident on two different metallic surfaces, one made of sodium (Na), the other of magnesium (Mg). If the respective work functions of these metals are 2.66 eV and 3.66 eV, will electrons be ejected by the 480 nm photons? If so, calculate the maximum KE the photoelectrons can have.arrow_forwardFor the thermal radiation from an ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of 2000 K, let Ic represent the intensity per unit wavelength according to the classical expression for the spectral radiancy and IP represent the corresponding intensity per unit wavelength according to the Planck expression.What is the ratio Ic/IP for a wavelength of (a) 400 nm (at the blue end of the visible spectrum) and (b) 200 mm (in the far infrared)? (c) Does the classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the shorter wavelength range or the longer wavelength range?arrow_forwardWhat is the diffraction limited resolution of 10 nm X-ray photons?arrow_forward
- Assuming that your surface temperature is 98.6°F and that you are an ideal blackbody radiator (you are close), find (a) the wavelength at which your spectral radiancy is maximum, (b) the power at which you emit thermal radiation in a wavelength range of 1.00 nm at that wavelength, from a surface area of 4.00 cm2, and (c) the corresponding rate at which you emit photons from that area. Using a wavelength of 500 nm (in the visible range), (d) recalculate the power and (e) the rate of photon emission. (As you have noticed, you do not visibly glow in the dark.)arrow_forwardUnder ideal conditions, a visual sensation can occur in the human visual system if light of wavelength 550 nm is absorbed by the eye’s retina at a rate as low as 100 photons per second.What is the corresponding rate at which energy is absorbed by the retina?arrow_forward
