Light of wavelength 300 nm is used in an experiment on photoelectric effect with lithium having a work function of 2.7 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of ejected photo-electrons will be
- A 1.60 eV
- B 1.90 eV
- C 1.75 eV
- D 1.43 eV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 1.43 eV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\) \(E = \frac{1240 \text{ eV} \cdot \text{nm}}{300 \text{ nm}} = 4.133 \text{ eV}\) \(K_{max} = E - \phi\) \(K_{max} = 4.133 \text{ eV} - 2.7 \text{ eV} = 1.433 \text{ eV}\)

In the year 1963 the two enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage in E. coli were isolated. The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was characterized five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognizing a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II. Besides Hind II, today we know more than 900 restriction enzymes that have been isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria, each of which recognize different recognition sequences.
When DNA from different sources is cut by the same restriction enzymes, the resultant DNA fragments have the :CUET 2025 Easy - If the points (-1,-1,2), (2, m, 5) and (3, 11, 6) are collinear, then m equalsCUET 2025 Medium

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
