Which of the following conclusion is correct regarding photoelectric effect?
Options
- AEnergy of a photon depends upon frequency of light absorbed.
- BEnergy of a photon depends upon intensity of light.
- CKinetic energy of electrons increases due to increase in intensity of light.
- DAll the energy of photon is absorbed by metal súrface.
Correct answer
A. Energy of a photon depends upon frequency of light absorbed.
Step-by-step solution
Energy of photon depends upon frequency and not on intensity. As on increasing the intensity of light of a particular frequency v , the number of electrons ejected increases but not their kinetic energy.
