U, , (ii) They travel in straight lines. Figure 1 +, , (iii) These rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fields., On the basis of these properties, William Crookes concluded that cathode rays consist of streams of negatively charged particles., , Thomson determined the ratio of (e/m) of these particles. J.J. Thomson experiments showed that cathode rays move with very, high speed (of the order of 1/10th of speed of light = 3 x 10’ ms~!). The value of (e/m) for cathode rays was found to be, 1-76 x 10!! C kg"!. The value of (e/m) was independent of the nature of the material of the cathode and the nature of the gas filled, im the discharge tube., , Later on, at the end of the 19th century, it was found that negatively charged particles are emitted when certain metals are, “exposed to ultraviolet rays. Negatively charged particles are also emitted by an incandescent filament (heating the filament)., Thomson determined the value of (e/m) of negatively charged particles emitted by metals when exposed to ultra-violet rays and of, _ the negatively charged particles emitted by the incandescent filament. In both the cases, Thomson found that the value of (e/m) of, - Regati vely charged particles is same as that of the value of (e/m) of cathode rays negatively charged particles. Therefore, he, concluded that negatively charged particles emitted either by applying a strong electric field (in case of gas dicharge tube) or by, ‘ultraviolet rays or by heating the metal are identical. Thomson named these negatively charged particles as electrons., , ; - rmed his famous oil-drop experiment in 1913 to determine the value of charge on an, R.A.

AL NATURE DF RADIATION ANG) MATTER-Dual Nature af Radiation and! Matter, , 40.3.2. Hallwachs’ and Lenard’s Observations, , , , §, Discuss Hallwach's and Lenard's observations. What is the result of these observations ?, Wilhelm Hallwachs in 1888 observed that ultraviolet light thrown on a negatively, , charged zinc plate, connected to a gold-leaf electroscope, decreases the divergence, , of gold leaves (Figure 11).This observation indicates the decrease in the negative, , charge on zinc plate. Thus, Hallwachs concluded that a negatively charged zinc Ropasively, , plate when exposed to ultra-violet light emits negatively charged particles. The charged, emitted particles are infact photoelectrons emitted by the action of light. Zinc plate, , Philipp Lenard used the apparatus shown in figure 11 to study the effect of, light on a metallic surface. He observed that when ultra-violet light was incident, on a metallic electrode *C’ (called cathode), electric current appeared in the, circuit. This electric current in the circuit is known as photoelectric current., However, there was no current in the circuit, when electrode *C’ was not exposed, to ultra-violet light. He also concluded that only light of suitable minimum frequency, (called threshold frequency) results into photoelectric current. This minimum frequency, varies from material to material., , Ultraviolet, , Light, , Emitted negatively, charged particles, (Photoelectron), , et : ’ : 3 Gold leaf, The minimum frequency of incident light required to emit electrons from @ _ electroscope, , metal surface is known as threshold frequency. Thus, photoelectrons are emitted, from an emitter (say a metal) surface only if the frequency of the incident light is, greater than the threshold frequency. Figure 11, Conclusion ; From all these observations, it was concluded that when radiations of, suitable frequency fall on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted, This phenomenon is, known as photo electric effect., The electrons emitted by the metal surface are known as photo electrons. The electric current constituted by photo, , electrons is known as photo electric current., , % HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills Based Info, Nearly all metals emit photoelectron ., , , , , rmation), ultra-violet light.
