Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Question:

Which of the following statements are correct?

A. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation.
B. The minimum value of photoelectric current is called saturation current.
C. For a given frequency, stopping potential is independent of its intensity.
D. The stopping potential is same for all frequencies.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A and C only

A, C and D only

C and D only

B, C and D only

Correct Answer:

A and C only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → A and C only

(A) If the frequency is above the threshold $(v_0)$, more photons mean more photoelectron emitted.

(C) The stopping potential $(v_0)$ depends upon kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons, which is determined by the frequency of incident light.
