JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    A beam of light of wavelength \[\lambda \] and with illumination L falls on a clean surface of sodium. If N photoelectrons are emitted each with kinetic energy E, then      [BHU 1994]

    A)            \[N\propto L\] and \[E\propto L\]                                  

    B)   \[N\propto L\]and \[E\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\]

    C)            \[N\propto \lambda \] and \[E\propto L\]                  

    D)            \[N\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\]and \[E\propto \frac{1}{L}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Number of photons emitted is proportional to the intensity. Also \[\frac{hc}{\lambda }={{W}_{0}}+E\].
