Which of the following statements are correct?

A. Number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation
B. Cut off potential is the minimum negative potential given to the plate for which photocurrent becomes maximum
C. For a given frequency of the incident radiation, the stopping potential is independent of its intensity
D. Even for the exceedingly dim incident radiation apparent time lag is ~$10^{-9s}$ or less
E. Photons are electrically neutral and are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, C, D and E only

The correct answer is Option (2) → A, C, D and E only

(A) Higher intensity means more photons, leading to more photoelectrons.

(C) Intensity affects the number of electrons, not their energy.

(D) The photoelectric effect occurs almost instantaneously, and there is no lag between photon strike and emission of electron.

(E) Photons are neutral particles and do not carry charge, so they are not affected by electric and magnetic fields.
