In photoelectric emission, the energy of the emitted electron is

A

greater than the incident photon

B

same as that of the incident photon

C

smaller than the incident photon

D

proportional to the intensity of incident photon

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c) In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the emitted electron is smaller than that of the incident photon because some energy of photon is used to eject the electron and remaining energy is used to increase the kinetic energy of ejected electron .

In photoelectric effect the energy of the free electron does not depend on.............of light.

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hv-phi) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron (where phi is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tuve. Wavelength of charasteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. Q. If potential difference across the tube is increased then

Photoelectric emission takes place

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission , all the emitted photoelectrons have the same kinetic energy. Reason : The photon transfers its whole energy to the electron of the atom in photoelectric effect.

In photoelectric emission the number of electrons ejected per second is proportional to the
