The maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons in a photoelectric effect does not depend upon

  1. A wavelength
  2. B frequency
  3. C intensity
  4. D work-function
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) intensity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation maximum kinetic energy, \[ \begin{aligned} K_{\max } &=e V_{0}=h v-\phi_{0} \\ &=h\left(v-v_{0}\right)=h c\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right) \end{aligned} \] Hence, in photoelectric effect, maximum kinetic energy…
