NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of incident light. | Reason (R): In the photoelectric effect, each electron absorbs energy from a single quantum of radiation.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false and R is true.
