In a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of incident light is increased from \( 5 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} \) to \( 9 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} \), while the intensity of radiation remains the same. Choose the correct statement from the following.

  1. A The photoelectric current will decrease
  2. B The maximum kinetic energy of electron will increases
  3. C The intensity of radiation will increase
  4. D The cut off potential will decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) The cut off potential will decrease

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of incident photon: \( E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \) Maximum kinetic energy of electron: \( K_{max} = E - \phi \) Cut-off potential: \( eV_0 = K_{max} \) If wavelength (\(\lambda\)) increases, then photon energy (\(E\)) decreases. As \(E\) decreases, \(K_{max}\) decreases. As…
