Which of the following statements are correct? A. Photoelectric current depends on the intensity of light. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
A, B and C only B, C and D only A, C and D only A, B and D only |
A, C and D only |
The correct answer is Option (3) → A, C and D only (A) Higher intensity means more photon strike the surface, leading to more emission of more electron and hence a higher current. (C) The photoelectric effect occurs when a photon is absorbed by an electron, imparting enough energy to eject the electron from the metal surface. (D) The energy of the incoming photon is used to overcome the work function of a metal, while the remaining energy is being converted to kinetic energy of electron. |
