Figure Q28.5 shows the typical photoelectric behavior of a metal as the anode-cathode potential difference ΔV is varied.
a. Why do the curves become horizontal for ΔV ? 1V? Shouldn’t the current increase as the potential difference increases? Explain.
b. Why doesn’t the current immediately drop to zero for ΔV < 0 V? Shouldn’t ΔV < 0 V prevent the electrons from reaching the anode? Explain.
c. The current is zero for ΔV < -2.0 V . Where do the electrons go? Are no electrons emitted if ΔV < -2.0 V? Or if they are, why is there no current? Explain.
Light of constant intensity but varying wavelength was used to illuminate the cathode in a photoelectriceffect experiment. The graph shows how the stopping potential depended on the frequency of the light. What is the work function, in eV, of the cathode?
A gold cathode (work function = 5.1 eV) is illuminated with light of wavelength 250 nm. It is
found that the photoelectron current is zero when AV = 0 V. Would the current change if:
a. The intensity is doubled?
b. The anode-cathode potential difference is increased to AV= 5.5 V?
c. The cathode is changed to aluminum (work function = 4.3 eV)?
