Statement- 1 : High thermal conductivity of metals is due to presence of free electrons. Statement- 2 : Electrons at same temperature have very high average velocity than atoms.

Assertion : Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic) is incident on a metal , the energies of emitted photoelectrons are different. Reason : The energy of electrons emitted from inside the metal surface is lost in collision with the other atoms in the metal.
