JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

In a photoelectric experiment, increasing the intensity of incident light :

  1. A increases the number of photons incident and also increases the \(K.E.\) of the ejected electrons
  2. B increases the frequency of photons incident and increases the \(K.E.\) of the ejected electrons
  3. C increases the frequency of photons incident and the \(K.E.\) of the ejected electrons remains unchanged
  4. D increases the number of photons incident and the \({KE}\). of the ejected electrons remains unchanged
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) increases the number of photons incident and the \({KE}\). of the ejected electrons remains unchanged

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\rightarrow\) Increasing intensity means number of incident photons are increased. \(\rightarrow\) Kinetic energy of ejected electrons depend on the frequency of incident photons, not the intensity.
