NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The stopping potential for a given metal depends on the frequency of the incident light but not on its intensity.
Reason (R): The stopping potential is directly related to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons, which is determined by the frequency of the incident light.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The stopping potential depends on the frequency, not the intensity, of incident light because it is related to the maximum kinetic energy of electrons, as stated in the NCERT context.
