Physics-Photoelectric Effect
NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Increasing the intensity of incident light increases the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons. | Reason (R): The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of the incident light.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of the incident light and not on its intensity, as described by Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect.
