43. (i) Give Einstein's explanation of photoelectric effect. (3)
(ii) Mention any two properties of photons. (2)
Ans (i) Albert Einstein proposed a new picture of electromagnetic radiation to explain photoelectric
effect. According to him, photoelectric emission does not take place by continuous absorption of 1
energy from radiation. Radiation energy consists of discrete units called quanta of energy of
radiation. Each quantum of radiant energy or photon has energy hν, where h is Planck’s constant and 1
ν the frequency of light.
In photoelectric effect, an electron absorbs a photon of energy (hν) of radiation. If the energy
absorbed exceeds the minimum energy needed for the electron to escape from the metal surface (i.e.
1
work function φ0), the electron is emitted with maximum kinetic energy (Kmax).
(ii) Properties of photons
(a) In interaction of radiation with matter, radiation behaves as if it is made up of particles called
photons.
(b) Each photon has energy E = hν where ν is the frequency, momentum p = hν/c where c is the
2
speed of light.
(c) All photons of light of a particular frequency (ν), or wavelength (λ), have the same energy and
momentum. The photon energy is independent of intensity of radiation.
(d) Photons are electrically neutral and are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
(e) In a photon-particle collision (such as photon-electron collision), the total energy and total
momentum are conserved. However, the number of photons may not be conserved in a collision.
Any 2 properties
44. (i) What is a rectifier? (1)
(ii) Draw the circuit diagram and input-output waveforms of a half wave rectifier. (2)
(iii) Explain the working of a half wave rectifier. (2)
Ans The device which converts ac into dc is called a rectifier. 1

9
 1

During +ve half cycle of AC input the diode (D) is forward biased and hence it conducts. 1
But during the –ve half cycle of AC input, the diode is reverse biased and hence it does not conduct. 1
So the current flows through the load only during one half cycle of AC input. Hence the name half
wave rectifier. The current flowing through the RL is a rectified output in the form of pulsating D.C.
