Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- A is false but R is true
- Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- A is true but R is false
Answer
(2) A is false but R is true
Solution
Einstein's photoelectric equation: eV0 = h - 0
The stopping potential depends only on the frequency of light (and the work function), not on its intensity A is false.
Higher intensity means more photons per second; for > 0 each absorbed photon can eject an electron the number of photoelectrons emitted per second (photocurrent) increases R is true.
Answer: (2)
