Dual Nature Of Light Question 19
In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of light, the number of electrons emitted increases but the kinetic energy of each of them remains unchanged while photoelectric current increases. Reason : The photoelectric current depends only on wavelength of light.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason are both false.

Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
On increasing the intensity of incident light, the current in photoelectric cell will increase. The energy of the photons $ (h\nu ) $ will, however not increase with increase in intensity, and hence the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons will not increase.
