The time taken by a photoelectron to come out after the photon strikes is approximately

A

(a)`10^(-4)s`

B

(b)`10^(-10)s`

C

(c)`10^(-16)`

D

(d)`10^(-1) s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The photoelectric phenomenon is an instantaneous phenomenon, hence the time taken be an electron to come out of metal is approximately `10^(-10)` sec (found experimentally).
