    There is no significant time delay between the absorption of suitable radiation and the emission of electrons.
  • B
    Einstein's analysis gives a threshold frequency below which no electron can be emitted.
  • C
    The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is directly proportional to the frequency of incident radiation.
  • D

Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$. Photoelectric effect will take place only if ($\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength).

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons depends on

The maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron is $E$ when the wavelength of incident radiation is $\lambda$. If the wavelength of the incident radiation is reduced to $\frac{\lambda}{3}$,the maximum kinetic energy becomes $4E$. The work function of the metal is:

The graph of stopping potential $(V_{s})$ against frequency $(\nu)$ of incident radiation is plotted for two different metals '$P$' and '$Q$' as shown in the graph. If $\phi_{P}$ and $\phi_{Q}$ are the work functions of metals '$P$' and '$Q$' respectively,then which of the following is correct?
