The maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons in a photoelectric effect does not depend upon
Options
- Awavelength
- Bfrequency
- Cintensity
- Dwork-function
Correct answer
C. intensity
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation maximum kinetic energy, aligned K_ &=e V₀=h v- ₀ &=h (v-v₀ )=h c ( 1 - 1 ₀ ) aligned Hence, in photoelectric effect, maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons depends on work function of metal surface, frequency and wavelength of incident radiation but does not depend on intensity of incident radiation.
