Em Waves Question 81

Question: If the intensity of radiation incident on a photocell be increased four times, then the number of photoelectrons and the energy of photoelectrons emitted respectively become

Options:

A) Four times, doubled

B) Doubled, remains unchanged

C) Remains unchanged, doubled

D) Four times, remains unchanged

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Since the number of photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation, the number of photoelectrons emitted becomes four times. The energy of photoelectrons does not change with the intensity light.
