Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal ...

Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function ` = hf_(0) where f_(0)` is the threshold frequency.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Less work function means less energy is required for ejecting out the electrons.
