A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, h v_o, If photons of energy 2hv_o, fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4 x 10⁶ m/s. When the photon energy is increased to 5 hv,, then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

• 2 × 10⁶ m/s

• 2 × 10⁷ m/s

• 8 × 10⁵ m/s

• 8 × 10⁶ m/s

Fission of nuclei is possible because the binding energy per nucleon in them

• increases with mass number at high mass numbers

• decreases with mass number at high mass numbers

• increases with mass number at low mass numbers 

• decreases with mass number at low mass numbers

In any fission process the ratio $\underset{\mathrm{Mass} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{parent} \mathrm{nucleus}}{\overset{\mathrm{Mass} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{fission} \mathrm{products}}{\to }}$ is

• less than 1

• greater than 1

• greater than 1

• depends on the mass of parent nucleus

Carbon, silicon and germanium atoms have four valence electrons each. Their valence and conduction bands are separated by energy band gaps represented by _{${\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{C}} , {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{Si}} \mathrm{and} {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{Ge}}$} respectively. Which one of the following relationships is true in their case?

• ${\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{C}} > {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{si}}$

• ${\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{C}} = {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{Si}}$

• ${\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{C}} < {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{Ge}}$

• ${\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{C}} > {\left({\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{g}}\right)}_{\mathrm{Si}}$
