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 the assertion.

B

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

C

If assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
