Then, what is the effect on stopping potential and saturation current.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem regarding the effects of doubling the intensity and frequency of incident light on stopping potential and saturation current, we can break it down into a series of steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between frequency and energy of photons The energy of a photon is given by the equation: \[ E = h \nu \] where \( E \) is the energy, \( h \) is Planck's constant, and \( \nu \) is the frequency of the light. ### Step 2: Analyze the effect of doubling the frequency ...

    Assertion: If frequency of incident light is doubled, the stopping potential will also become two times Reason: Stopping potential is given by V_0 = (h)/(e ) (v-v_0)

    When a high frequency electromagnetic radiation is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the surface. Energy of emitted photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of incident electromagnetic radiation and the number of emitted electrons depends only on the intensity of incident light.
