PYQ NEET- Structure Of Atom L-5

Question: When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength $300 \mathrm{~nm}$ falls on the surface of a metal, electrons are emitted with the kinetic energy of $1.68 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J}$ $\mathrm{mol}^{-1}$. What is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from the metal?#

$$ \left(\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}, \mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}, \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{A}}=6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right) $$

A) $2.31 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

B) $2.31 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

C) $3.84 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

D) $3.84 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

Answer: $2.31 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$#

Solution:#

Energy of one photon $=\frac{h c}{\lambda}(\lambda=300 \mathrm{~nm})$ For one mole photons, $E=\frac{h c}{\lambda} \times N_A$ $$ \begin{aligned} & E=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}}{300 \times 10^{-9}} \ & E=3.99 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \ & \text { Kinetic energy }=1.68 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \ & W_0=E-K . E \ & =3.99 \times 10^5-1.68 \times 10^5 \ & =2.31 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$
