COMEDK · Physics · 27. Dual Nature of Matter

Which of the following statement is wrong regarding the photo electric effect.

  1. A The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted depends on the intensity of the incident radiation
  2. B Photo electric current is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation
  3. C The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted depends on the frequency of the incident radiation
  4. D The value of the stopping potential increases with the increase in frequency of the incident radiation.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted depends on the intensity of the incident radiation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is given by \(K_{max} = h\nu - \Phi\), where \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(\nu\) is the frequency of incident radiation, and \(\Phi\) is the work function of the metal. From this…
