Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 52: . With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.

Question 52:

Following results are observed when sodium metal is irradiated with different wavelengths.

Calculate (a) threshold wavelength and, (b) Planck’s constant.

               λ (nm) 500 450

400

       v × 10–5 (cm s–1) 2.55 4.35 5.35

 

Answer:

(a) Let us suppose threshold wavelength to be λD nm (= λ0 x 10-9 m), the kinetic energy of the radiation is given as:

h(v-v0)=1/2 mv2

Or

hc(1/λ - 1/λD) = 1/2 mv2

Threshold wavelength (λD)= 540 nm

 Substituting this value in equation iii,we get

= h  x (3x108)/10-9 [1/400-1/540]

= [(9.11x10-31)(5.20x106)2] / 2

=6.66x10-34Js
