In a photoelectric effect experiment,the graph of stopping potential $V$ versus the reciprocal of wavelength $(1/\lambda)$ is shown in the figure. As the intensity of incident radiation is increased:

  • A
    Slope of the straight line becomes steeper.
  • B
    Straight line shifts to the left.
  • C
    Graph does not change.
  • D
    Straight line shifts to the right.

In the photoelectric effect, the kinetic energy of the electron emitted from the metal surface depends upon:

Light comprising three wavelengths $310 \ nm$,$455 \ nm$,and $620 \ nm$ is incident on a surface separating two media at an angle of $45^o$. The refractive index for the $455 \ nm$ light is $\sqrt{2}$.
