According to the photoelectric effect, the plot of kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope
Options
- Ais the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of radiation
- Bdepends only on the intensity of radiation
- Cdepends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used
- Ddepends on the nature of metals used
Correct answer
A. is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of radiation
Step-by-step solution
For photoelectric effect, = ₀+( KE )_ where, = energy of incident photon =h v aligned & aligned & ₀= work function of material of metal on & which photon is falling &( KE )_ = Maximum kinetic energy of emitted & photoelectrons. aligned & So, on putting the values & aligned h v= ₀+( KE )_ where, v= frequency of falling photon and h= Planck's constant. aligned aligned On comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get m=h= constant So, the slope of ( KE )_ versus v graph is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of
