The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements regarding the photoelectric effect, let's break down the problem step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement-1** - Statement-1 claims that in a photoelectric effect experiment, different photoelectrons have different kinetic energy. - In the photoelectric effect, when light (photons) strikes a metal surface, electrons are emitted. The kinetic energy (KE) of these emitted electrons can be expressed as: \[ KE = E_{photon} - \phi \] where \(E_{photon}\) is the energy of the incident photon and \(\phi\) is the work function of the metal. - Since the energy of the incident photons can vary (especially in polychromatic light), the emitted electrons can indeed have different kinetic energies. Thus, Statement-1 is **correct**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement-2** - Statement-2 states that in the incident radiation, different photons must have different energy. - There are two types of radiation: monochromatic and polychromatic. - **Monochromatic Radiation**: All photons have the same energy (e.g., light of a single wavelength). - **Polychromatic Radiation**: Photons can have different energies (e.g., white light containing multiple wavelengths). - The statement implies that it is necessary for different photons to have different energies, which is not always true. In monochromatic light, all photons have the same energy. Therefore, Statement-2 is **incorrect**. **Step 3: Conclusion** - Based on the analysis: - Statement-1 is true. - Statement-2 is false. - Thus, the correct option is that the first statement is true and the second statement is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Statement-1 is true and Statement-2 is false.** ---
