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

In photoelectric effect if the intensity of light is doubled then maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons will become

Assertion : Photoelectric effect demonstrates the wave nature of light. Reason: The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the frequency of light.

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons in a photoelectric effect does not depend upon

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.

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.

Assertion (A) : On increasing the frequency of light larger number of photoelectrons are emitted . Reason (R) : The number of electrons emitted depends on the intensity of incident light.
