If the wavelength of light in an experiment on photoelectric effect is increased, then
(A) the photoelectric emissions will not take place
(B) the photoelectric emission may or may not take place
(C) the stopping potential will increase.
(D) the stopping potential will decrease
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (B) and (D) only
  2. B (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A) and (C) only
  4. D (A) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of photon \(E = hc/\lambda\). If \(\lambda\) increases, \(E\) decreases. For photoelectric emission, \(E \ge \phi\). As \(E\) decreases, emission may or may not take place (becomes less likely) → (B) is correct. Stopping potential \(V_s = (E - \phi)/e\). As \(E\)…
