Explanation:
The apparent depth is given as
glass
μ
air
= μ
glass
/ μ
air
= real depth/ apparent depth ---------------- (1)
Putting the values in equation 1 we get
1.5/1 = 15 cm / apparent depth
apparent depth = 10 cm
Hence, E is the correct answer option.
Question 15
Work function of Nickel is 5.01 eV. What is the threshold frequency for Nickel? (Planck’s constant
= 6.6 × 10
-34
Js)
A.
1.21 × 10

B.
0.56 × 10

D.
3.67 × 10
14

E.
2.23 × 10
15
Hz
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Threshold frequency is the minimum frequency required to eject photoelectrons out of a material in
photoelectric effect. It is given as
Φ = hv
o
-------------- (1)
Work function is given in eV. So, we need to convert it into Joules.
1 eV = 1.6 x 10
-19
J
5.01 eV = 8.02 x 10
-19
J
Putting the values in equation 1 we get
8.02 x 10
