The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends up on

Options

A. depends on collector plate
B. is independent of emitter plate material
C. is independent of frequency of incident radiation
D. depends on the frequency of light source and the nature of emitter plate material

Answer

D

Explanation

We have,
`hv= hv_(0) + "KE"_("max")`
Here, `"KE"_("max")`. depends on `v and hv_0`.
Hence, we can say that the maximum KE of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of light source and the nature of emitter plate materials.
