Assertion : Alkali metals are most suitable for photoelectric effect. Reason : The work function of alkali metals is small, so even the radiations of small energy are able to cause the photoelectric effect.

It is observed in an experiment on photoelectric effect that an increase in the intensity of the incident radiation does not change the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons. Where does the extra energy of the incident radiation go? Is it lost? State your answer with explanatory reasoning

In the explanation of photoelectric effect, we assume one photon of frequency nu collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy E_max of the emitted electron as, E_max = h nu - phi_0 whare phi_0 is the work function of the metal . If an electron absorbs two photons (each of frequency nu ) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron ?

Assertion: Photoelectric effect supports the quantum nature of light. Reason : Electric charge of photoelectrons is quantised.

Assertion: Photoelectric effect shows both the wave like and particle like behaviour of light. Reason : Wave nature of matter is not visible in our daily observations.

In an X-ray tube , electrons bombarding the anode produce X-rays of wavelength 1 Å . The energy of an electron , when it hits the anode is

The energy required to remove electron from sodium is 2.3 eV. Does sodium show photoelectric effect for orange light of wavelength 6800 overset(@)(A) ?
