Question:medium

Match List-I with List-II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Remember these standard graphs: \[ I_p \propto \text{Intensity} \] \[ V_0=\frac{h}{e}\nu-\frac{\phi}{e} \] \[ \lambda=\frac{h}{p} \] Photoelectric current vs anode potential always shows a saturation region.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Different physical quantities follow characteristic graphical relationships.

Step 1:
Match photoelectric current with intensity. Photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation. \[ I_p \propto \text{Intensity} \] Hence the graph is a straight line passing through the origin. \[ (A)\rightarrow(IV) \]

Step 2:
Match stopping potential with frequency. Einstein's photoelectric equation is \[ eV_0=h\nu-\phi \] or \[ V_0=\frac{h}{e}\nu-\frac{\phi}{e} \] This represents a straight line with a threshold frequency intercept. \[ (B)\rightarrow(I) \]

Step 3:
Match photoelectric current with anode potential. As anode potential increases, more photoelectrons are collected and the current gradually reaches saturation. Therefore the graph rises and then becomes constant. \[ (C)\rightarrow(II) \]

Step 4:
Match de-Broglie wavelength with momentum. According to de-Broglie relation, \[ \lambda=\frac{h}{p} \] Thus wavelength varies inversely with momentum. The graph is a decreasing rectangular hyperbola. \[ (D)\rightarrow(III) \]

Step 5:
Write the final matching. \[ (A)\rightarrow(IV) \] \[ (B)\rightarrow(I) \] \[ (C)\rightarrow(II) \] \[ (D)\rightarrow(III) \] \[ { (A)-(IV),\ (B)-(I),\ (C)-(II),\ (D)-(III) } \] Hence, the correct option is \[ {(B)} \]
