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

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

B

depends on the intensity of the radiation

C

depends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used

D

depends on the nature of the metals used

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`hv = hv_(0) + KE_(max) rArr KE_(max) = hv - hv_(0)`
On comparing this equation with `y = mx + c` , we get
`m = h =` Universal constant
