According to Einstein's photoelectric eq...

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the plot of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope

A

depends on the intensity of the incident radiation

B

depends on the nature of the metal and also on the intensity of incident radiation

C

is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the incident radiation

D

depends on the nature of the metal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation
`KE_(max)=hv-phi_(0)`
Comparing with the equation of straight line
`y=mx+c`
We get, slope of graph=h
