Question 17

From the photoelectric effect experiment, following observations are made. Identify which of these are correct:
A. The stopping potential depends only on the work function of the metal.
B. The saturation current increases as the intensity of incident light increases.
C. The maximum kinetic energy of a photo electron depends on the intensity of the incident light.
D. Photoelectric effect can be explained using wave theory of light.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A: Stopping potential depends on frequency AND work function, not just work function. FALSE.

B: Saturation current increases with intensity of light. TRUE.

C: Maximum KE depends on frequency, not intensity. FALSE.

D: Photoelectric effect cannot be explained by wave theory. FALSE.

Only B is correct.
