Assertion: Light of frequency 1.5 times ...

Assertion: Light of frequency `1.5` times the threshold frequency is incident on photo-senstive material. If the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, the photo current remains unchanged.
Reason: The photo electric current varies directely with the intensity of light and frequncy of light.

A

If both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that light of frequency \(1.5 \times \nu_0\) (where \(\nu_0\) is the threshold frequency) is incident on a photo-sensitive material. If the frequency is halved (to \(0.75 \times \nu_0\)) and the intensity is doubled, the photo current remains unchanged. **Analysis**: - The threshold frequency \(\nu_0\) is the minimum frequency required to eject electrons from the material. - The initial frequency \(1.5 \times \nu_0\) is above the threshold, so photoelectric emission occurs. - When the frequency is halved to \(0.75 \times \nu_0\), this frequency is below the threshold frequency. Therefore, no photoelectric emission can occur, and the photo current will be zero. ### Conclusion for Assertion: The assertion is **false** because the photo current cannot remain unchanged when the frequency is below the threshold frequency. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that the photoelectric current varies directly with the intensity of light and frequency of light. **Analysis**: - The photoelectric current does indeed vary with the intensity of light. Higher intensity means more photons, which can lead to more emitted electrons, thus increasing the current. - However, the current does not vary with frequency in the sense that increasing frequency does not increase the number of emitted electrons; it only affects the energy of the emitted electrons. The current is dependent on the number of photons (intensity), not their energy (frequency). ### Conclusion for Reason: The reason is also **false** because while the current varies with intensity, it does not vary directly with frequency. ### Final Conclusion: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
