Assertion : Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic) is incident on a metal , the energies of emitted photoelectrons are different.
Reason : The energy of electrons emitted from inside the metal surface is lost in collision with the other atoms in the metal.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) : When a light of single frequency falls on the electron of inner layer of metal, the electron comes out of the metal surface after a large number of collisions with atoms of its upper layer.

Some questions (Assertion-Reason Type) are given below. Each question contains Statement I (Assertion) and statement II(reason). Each question has 4 choices (a),(b),(c ) and (d) out of which only one is correct. So select the correct choise. a. Statement I is True, Statement II is True,Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I b. Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is NOT a correct ecplanation for Statement I c. Statement I is True, Statement II is False . d. Statement I is false, Statement II is True. Statement:I Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic light) is incident on a metal, the energies of emitted photoelectrons are different. Statement II: The energy of electrons just after they absorb photons incident on the metal surface may be lost in collision with other atoms in the metal before the electron is ejected out of the metal.
