By increasing the intensity of incident light on the surface of a metal

Assertion : The increase in intensity of incidence light decreases the kinetic energy of emitted electrons. Reason : When frequency of light increases , the intensity of light increases.

Assertion : Photoelectric current depends on the intensity of incident light. Reason : Number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to intensity of incident radiation.

Three nicols prisms are placed such that, first and third are mutually perpendicular. Unpolarised light is incident on first nicol's prism, the intensity of light emerges from third nicol's prism is 1//16 the intensity of incident light. Find the angle between first and second nicol's prisms. [22.5^(@)]
