Blue light can eject electrons from a photosensitive surface while orange light can not. Will violet and red light eject electrons from the same surface?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since `f_("Violet") gt f_("blue") gt f_("red")`.
So we find that violet light can eject photoelectrons.
`[therefore f_("violet") gt f_("blue")]` and red light cannot eject photoelectrons
`(therefore f_("red") lt f_("blue"))`

Green light ejects photoelectrons from a given photosenstive surface where as yellow light does not. What will happen in case of violet and red light? Give reason for your answer.

Assertion : Kinetic energy of photo electrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon. Reason : The ejection of electrons from metallic surface is possible with frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Assertion (A) : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the frequency of incident photon. Reason (R ): The ejection of electrons from metallic surface is possible with frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Blue light can cause photo electric emission from a metal, but yellow light cannot. If red light Is incident on the metal,

A metallic surface ejects electrons when hit by green light but none when hit by yellow light . Will the electrons be ejected if the same surface is hit by red light

A metallic surface ejects electrons when exposed to green light of intensity I but not when exposed to yellow light of intensity I. It is possible to eject electrons from the same surface by (i) yellow light of some intensity which is more than I (ii) green light of any intensity (iii) red light of any intensity (iv) violet light of any intensity
