The kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends on the internsity of the incident radiation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

False.
For photoelectric effect:
`hv-hv_0=(KE)_(max)`
where `h=`Planck's constant,
`v=`frequency of incident radiation, and
`v_0=`threshold frequency.
`implies(K.E)_(max)propn`
KE does not depend on the intensity of incident radiation.
