Answer:
(a) In case of the Millikan oil drop experiment,
the charge on the electron is measured. The electron revolve outside the
nucleus and each has a charge e.
Thus, we do not
observe the fractional charges
(b) We know
that the energy acquired by the electron when accelerated through V volt is
Similarly,
the force on the electron in an electric field isand force on electron in
a magnetic field
orClearly,
the dynamics of electrons is determined by in all the above relations
instead of e alone.
(c) At
ordinary pressure, molecules of gas keep on colliding with each other and the
ions formed do not have a chance to reach the respective electrodes to constitute
a current because of their recombination. At low pressure, however, ions donot
collide frequently and are able to reach the respective electrodes to
constitute a current.
(d) Work
function in fact is the energy required to knock out the electron from highest filled
level of conduction band of an emitter.
In the
conduction band, there are different energy levels which collectively form a continuous
band of levels. Therefore, different amounts of energy are required, to bring
the electrons out of the different levels. Electrons once omitted have different
kinetic energies according to the energy supplied to the emitter.
(e) Since frequency
for a given matter wave remains constant for different layers of the matter but
wavelength changes so 'k is more
significant than v. Similarly energy is also constant for a
given matter wave so phase is also not physically
significant.
