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:
- A (A), (B) and (D) only
- B (A), (B), (C) and (D)
- C (B), (C) and (D) only
- D (B) and (D) only
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…

In our body, cell growth and differentiation is highly controlled and regulated. In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells. These cells actively divide and starve the normal cells by competing for vital nutrients. Cells sloughed from such tumors reach distant sites through blood, and wherever they get lodged in the body, they start a new tumor there. This property is called metastasis. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents called carcinogens.
Cancer is caused by:
A. Carcinogens
B. Protein rich foods
C. Primary lymphocytes
D. Oncogenes
