The frequency and the intensity of incident beam of light falling...
The frequency and the intensity of incident beam of light falling on the surface of a photoelectric material is increased by a factor of two. This will
Options
- Aincrease the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons by a factor of more than two and would increase the photoelectric current by a factor of two.
- Bincrease the maximum kinetic energy of the photo electron& and would increase the photoelectric current both by a factor of two.
- Cincrease the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron by a factor of two and will have no effect on the magnitude of the photoelectric current produced.
- Dnot produce any effect on the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons but will increase the photoelectric current by a factor of two.
Correct answer
A. increase the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons by a factor of more than two and would increase the photoelectric current by a factor of two.
Step-by-step solution
Using Einstein's photoelectric equations,
Thus, when the frequency of incident light radiation (photons) increases to , the stopping potential changes to
On dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (ii), we get
> 2 ⇒ {V}_s^{'} > 2{V}_{s}
