Consider the following Maximum energy of electrons liberated photoelectrically is independent of light intensity Maximum energy of electrons liberated photoelectrically varies nonlinearly with frequency of incident light.
Correct Answer: (1) is true and (2) is false
Explanation:
Statement (ii) is false because maximum energy of photons varies linearly with frequency of incident light. It can be shown as follows :
F1 > F2 > F3
j = light intensity = constant
Photocurrent Vs Anode voltage with frequency and incident light as a parameter.
