The maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electrons depends only on
- A potential
- B frequency
- C incident angle
- D pressure
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) frequency
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When light of suitable frequency falls on metal plate electrons are emitted. This effect is called photoelectric effect.
The maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons depends only on frequency of the incident light. The relation is given
as
\[
K_{\max }=h f=h f_{0}
\]
where \( f_{0} \) is threshold frequency; \( \mathrm{f} \) is frequency of incident light.
