The intensity of light falling on a phototube is increased while keeping the no of photons falling per seconds constant then for a given experiment.

When the intensity of light falling on leaf increases beyond a point, chlorphyll is destroyed. This phenomenon occurs in the presence of

A : On increasing the intensity of light , the number of photoelectrons emitted is more . Also the kinetic energy of each photo increases but the photoelectric current is constant R : Photoelectric current is independent of intensity but increases with increasing frequency incident radiation

A polarizer-analyser set is adjusted such that the intensity of light coming out of the analyser is just 12.5 % of the original intensity of light incident on the polarizer. Assuming that the polarizer-analyser set does not absorb any light, the angle by which the analyser need to be rotated in any sense to increase the output intensity to double of the previous intensity, is :

Two metallic plates A and B , each of area 5 xx 10m are placed parallel to each other at a separation of 1 cm . Plate B carries a positive charge of 33.7 pc . A monochromatic beam of light, with photons of energy 5 eV each, starts falling on plate A at t = 0, so that 10 photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every 10 incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate B and the work function of plate A remains constant at the value 2 eV . Electric field between the plates at the end of 10 seconds is

If the intensity of light falling on the emitting substance of a photoelectric cell be increased then what will be the effect on (i) current flowing from the cell, (ii) potential difference required to stop the current completely?

When the intensity of a light source is increased (a) the number of photons emitted by the source in unit time increases (b) the total energy of the photons emitted per unit time increases (c) more energetic photons are emitted (d) faster photons are emitted

How does kinetic energy of electrons change when we increase the intensity of light?

When monochromatic light falls on a photosensitive material, the number of photoelectrons emitted per second is n and their maximum kinetic energy is K_(max) . If the intensity of the incident light is doubled keeping the frequency same, then:

A lamp mainly emits light of wavelength lambda . The lamp is rated at P watt and 8% of the energy is emitted as visible light. (i) How many photons of light are emitted by the lamp per second? (ii) How many photons are falling per second on a square whose length of each side is a, held perpendicular to the incident photons at a distance r from the lamp.
