JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

A source of monochromatic radiation of wavelength \(400\, \mathrm{~nm}\) provides \(1000\, \mathrm{~J}\) of energy in \(10\, seconds.\) When this radiation falls on the surface of sodium, \(\mathrm{x} \times 10^{20}\) electrons are ejected per second. Assume that wavelength \(400\, \mathrm{~nm}\) is sufficient for ejection of electron from the surface of sodium metal. The value of \(x\) is \(......\). (Nearest integer) \(\left(\mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34}\, \mathrm{Js}\right)\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total energy provided by Source per second \(=\frac{1000}{10}=100 \,\mathrm{~J}\) Energy required to eject electron \(=\frac{h c}{\lambda}\) \(=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{400 \times 10^{-9}} \times 3 \times 10^{8}\) Number of electrons ejected…
