NEET2017PhysicsDual Nature of MatterActual
Assertion : As work function of a material increases by some mechanism, it requires greater energy to excite the electrons from its surface. Reason : A plot of stopping potential (V_s ) versus frequency (v) for different metals, has greater slope for metals with greater work functions.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
As eV =h ~s -WV_ s = ( h e ) v - ( W e ) For V_ s versus v graph, slope = h e = constant.
