According to Einstein's photoelectric eq...

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the plot of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope

A

depends on the nature of the metal used

B

depends on the intensity of the radiation

C

depends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used

D

is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the radiation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

According to Einstein's equation of photoelectric effect `hf=W_(0)+K_("max"), K_("max")=(h)f-W_(0)`

The slope of K vs f graph is h which is a fundamental constant and same for all metals at all intensifies.
