Light of wavelength `lamda` shines on a metal surface with intensity x and the metal emits y electrons per second of average energy, z. What will happen to y and z if x is doubled ?

A

y will be doubled and z will become half

B

y will remain same and z will be doubled

C

bothy and z will be doubled

D

y will be doubled but z will remain same.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When intensity is doubled, number of electrons emitted per second is also doubled but average energy of photoelectrons emitted remains the same.
