The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that if the frequency of the incident light on a metal is more than doubled, the metal will provide additional energy to the emitted photoelectrons. **Explanation**: According to the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incident light is given by the equation \( E = h \nu \), where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( \nu \) is the frequency of the light. If the frequency is doubled, the energy of the light will also double. This means that the electrons emitted from the metal will have more energy when the frequency of the incident light is increased. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that the metal will provide additional energy to the emitted photoelectrons for light of higher frequency than for lower frequency. **Explanation**: This statement is also true because as the frequency increases, the energy of the incident photons increases. Higher frequency light means more energy per photon, which translates to more kinetic energy for the emitted photoelectrons. Thus, the emitted photoelectrons will indeed have higher energy when exposed to higher frequency light. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct. The reason correctly explains the assertion because an increase in frequency leads to an increase in energy, which results in the emission of photoelectrons with greater energy. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    Given in fig. is the graph between frequency v of the incident light and maximum kinetic energy (E_(k)) of the emitted photoelectrons. Find the values of (i) threshold frequency and (ii) work function form the graph.

    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
