According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the graph of \(\mathrm{KE}\) of the photoelectron emitted from the metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line graph, whose slope

  1. A depends on the intensity of the incident radiation
  2. B depends on the nature of the metal and also on the intensity of incident radiation
  3. C is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the incident radiation
  4. D depends on the nature of the metal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the incident radiation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation



\[
\mathrm{KE}_{\max }=\mathrm{hv}-\phi_{0}
\]
Comparing with the equation of straight line
\[
y=m x+c
\]
We get, slope of graph \(=h\)
