    1. A zinc plate ejects photoelectrons when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. A different metal with a lower work function will eject photoelectrons with greater maximum speed and kinetic energy when exposed to the same ultraviolet radiation. 2. An atom has multiple energy levels. Transitions between these levels produce emission lines in its spectrum. There are 5 emission lines produced. 3. Light irradiance can be measured in watts per square meter (Wm-2).

    7. In 1902 P. Lenard set up an experiment similar to the one shown below. Marks

    There is a constant voltage applied across the metal plate and the metal cylinder.

    Monochromatic radiation is directed onto the plate.

    Photoelectrons produced at the plate are collected by the cylinder.

    The frequency and the irradiance of the radiation can be altered independently.

    The frequency of the radiation is set above the threshold frequency.

    (a) The irradiance of the radiation is slowly increased.


    Sketch a graph of the current against irradiance of radiation. 1
