In the context of the Photoelectric effect, identify the statements which support quantum nature of light.
(A) The electric charge of photoelectrons is quantized
(B) The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of its intensity
(C) The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process without any apparent time lag, even when the incident radiation is made exceedingly dim
(D) There is a minimum frequency of light below which no photoelectrons are emitted
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Quantum Nature: These statements support the particle (photon) theory of light, where energy is delivered in discrete packets \((E=h \nu)\) rather than continuous waves. Frequency \& Instantaneity (B, C, D): The existence of a threshold frequency, the instantaneous emission, and…
