Statement (I) : By increasing the potential difference between cathode and anode continuously in a photoelectric experiment, the photo current always increases continuously. Statement (II) : If two photons A and B of energies 2.5 eV and 3.5 eV respectively fall on a metal surface of work function 2.0 eV , then the ratio of maximum kinetic energies emitted between A and B is 3 . Statement (III) : The maximum energy ne
Options
- AStatements I, II and III are true
- BStatements I, II are true, but statement III is false
- CStatements II, III are true, but statement I is false
- DStatements I, II and III are false
Correct answer
D. Statements I, II and III are false
Step-by-step solution
Photocurrent will become constant after a certain potential difference between cathode and anode. So, (I) is incorrect Now, ( K . E )_ A ( K . E )_ B = 2.5-2 3.5-2 = 0.5 1.5 = 1 3 So, (II) is incorrect Work function is minimum energy needed to eject the electron. So, (III) is in correct.
