In a photoelectric effect, the number of photo electrons emitted per second is directly proportional to

  1. A frequency of the incident radiation
  2. B wavelength of the incident radiation
  3. C intensity of the incident radiation
  4. D speed of the incident radiation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) frequency of the incident radiation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the photoelectric effect, the number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation. Higher intensity means more photons are striking the surface per unit time, leading to a greater number of electron emissions.
