NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Increasing the intensity of light increases the energy of each photoelectron. | Reason (R): The wave picture of light suggests that the energy absorbed by each electron should increase with the intensity of radiation.
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 wave picture incorrectly predicts that energy of each photoelectron increases with intensity, but it is the number of photoelectrons that increases with intensity, not their energy.
