NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question
Consider a metal surface where light of a certain frequency is incident, causing electrons to be emitted. If you were to increase the intensity of the light while keeping the frequency constant, which of the following would likely increase?
The number of photoelectrons emitted per second
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons
The work function of the metal
The frequency of the incident light
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, increasing the intensity of light increases the number of photoelectrons emitted per second while keeping the frequency constant.
