Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of incident light the stopping potential increases. Reason R : Increase in intensity of light increases the rate of photoelectrons emitted, provided the frequency of incident light is greater than threshold frequency. In the light of the above statement
Options
- ABoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- BA is false but R is true
- CA is true but R is false
- DBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
B. A is false but R is true
Step-by-step solution
V _ S = hv - e so stopping potential doesn't depend on Intensity I = hv ~A On increasing intensity no. of photons per sec. n increases so the no. of electrons.
