A photo cell is receiving light from a source placed at a distance of `1 m`. If the same source is to be placed at a distance of `2 m` , then the ejected electron

A

Moves with one-fourth energy as that of the initial energy

B

Moves with one-fourth of momentum as that of the initial momentum

C

Will be half in number

D

Will be one-fourth in number

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

No. of ejected electron `prop` intensity `prop 1/(("distance")^2)`
i.e. `(1/4)^(th)` in number.
