Electrons are emitted with kinetic energy \(T\) from a metal plate by an irradiation of light of intensity \(J\) and frequency v. Then, which of the following will be true?

  1. A \(T \propto J\)
  2. B \(T\) linearly increasing with \(v\)
  3. C \(T \propto\) lime of irradiation
  4. D Number of electrons emitted \(\propto J\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Number of electrons emitted \(\propto J\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In photoelectric effect, if the incident light had a frequency less than a minimum frequency \(v_{0}\), then no electrons are ejected regardless of the light's amplitude. This minimum frequency is also called the threshold frequency, and the value of \(v_{0}\) depends on the…
