11.Dual Nature of Radiation and matter
easy

Which of the following is dependent on the intensity of incident radiation in a photoelectric experiment

A

Work function of the surface

B

Amount of photoelectric current

C

Stopping potential will be reduced

D

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons

(AIIMS-1998)

Solution

(b) Current in photo electric effect is directly proportionalto the intensity of the incident light. work function, stopping potential, maximum kinetic energy are independent of intensity of incident light, they depend on the frequency, wavelength of the incident light and material of the metal.
