Question:

In a photoelectric effect, the number of photo electrons emitted per second is directly proportional to

Options:

frequency of the incident radiation

wavelength of the incident radiation

intensity of the incident radiation

speed of the incident radiation

Correct Answer:

intensity of the incident radiation

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → intensity of the incident radiation

In photoelectric effect, the number of photoelectrons emitted per second depends on the number of incident photons, which is proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.

Answer: intensity of the incident radiation
