The number of photoelectrons emitted for light of a frequency `v` (higher than the threshold frequency `V_(0)`) is proportional to

A

threshold frequency `(v_0)`

B

intensity of light

C

frequency of light `(v)`

D

`v-v_0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The number of photoelectrons emitted for incident light of a frequency v is directly proportional to the intensity of light and is independent of frequency of light.

The number of photoelectrons emitted per unit time depends on (v gt v_(0))

The kinetic energy of electrons ejected by using light having frequency equal to threshold frequency (v_(0)) is:

The work functions of metals A and B are in the ratio 1 : 2 . If light of frequencies f and 2 f are incident on the surfaces of A and B respectively , the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is ( f is greater than threshold frequency of A , 2f is greater than threshold frequency of B )
