Photoelectrons emerging from a photocathode (work function: \(2.2~\text{eV}\)) are allowed to fall onto a gas containing hydrogen atoms in the ground state and the first excited state. What is the minimum energy of the photons incident on the photo-cathode that will cause the photoelectrons to transfer energy to the \(\mathrm{H\text-}\)atoms?
1. \(13.6~\text{eV}+2.2~\text{eV}\)
2. \((10.2+2.2)~\text{eV}\)
3. \((3.4+2.2)~\text{eV}\)
4. \((1.89+2.2)~\text{eV}\)

Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy \(E_0\)) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then:

1. no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons.
2. electrons can be emitted but all with energy, \(E_0.\)
3. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of \({E}_0-\phi\) (\(\phi\) is the work function).
4. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum \(E_0.\)

A photon of energy \(10.2\) eV corresponds to light of wavelength \(\lambda_0\). Due to electron transition from \(n = 2 \) to \(n = 1\) in a hydrogen atom, light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is emitted. If we take into account the recoil of atom when photon is emitted then: 
 
1. \(\lambda = \lambda_0\)
2. \(\lambda < \lambda_0\)
3. \(\lambda > \lambda_0\)
4. data is not sufficient to reach a conclusion

Photons absorbed in matter are converted to heat. A source emitting \(n\) photon/sec of frequency \(\nu\) is used to convert \(1~\text{kg}\) of ice at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}\) to water at \(0^{\circ}\text{C}.\) Then, the time \(T\) taken for the conversion:
(a) decreases with increasing \(n,\) with \(\nu\) fixed
(b) decreases with \(n\) fixed, \(\nu\) increasing
(c) remains constant with \(n\) and \(\nu\) changing such that \(n\nu=\) constant
(d) increases when the product \(n\nu\) increases

 
Choose the correct option:

1. (b), (d) 2. (a), (c), (d)
