Choose the incorrect statement:...

Choose the incorrect statement:

A

The velocity of photoelectrons is directely proportional to the square root of wavelength of light

B

The number of photoelectrons emitted depeds upon the intensity of incident light

C

The velocity of photoelectron is directely proportional to the frequency of the incident light

D

The velocity of the photoelectrons is inversely proportional to square root of the frequency of the light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a,c,d

As `K=hv-phi_(0)` or `1/2mv^(2)=(hc)/lambda-phi_(0)`
`:. v prop sqrt(v)` or `v prop1/(sqrt(lambda))`
so option `a,c,d` are incorrect as no. of photoelectrons depends on intensity of incident light, so, option b is correct.
