NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect Assertion Reason Question
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.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
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.
