Which of the following statements is correct regarding photoelectric effect?
1. The electrons are emitted if emitting surface is at high temperature.
2. Photoemission occurs if wavelength is less than a critical value.
3. The \(\mathrm{KE}\) of photoelectrons is proportional to the square of the amplitude of incident radiation.
4. The photoelectric current is proportional to the frequency of incident radiation.
- A 1
- B 2
- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
