Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light. Reason R: Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the frequency of incident radiation. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A .
- BBoth A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A .
- CA is not correct but R is correct.
- DA is correct but R is not correct.
Correct answer
C. A is not correct but R is correct.
Step-by-step solution
Intensity of light I = nh A Here n is no. of photons per unit time. n = IA h so on increasing frequency v, n decreases taking intensity constant. k _ = h v- So on increasing v , kinetic energy increases.
