Question 284: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

In photoelectric effect, the photocurrent

Accepted Answer

Photocurrent is independent of the frequency of photon. However when intensity of incident photon increases number of electrons emitted from the surface also increases, thereby increasing photocurrent.

Answer

decreases with increase in frequency of incident photon.

Answer

increases with increase in frequency of incident photon.

Answer

does not depend on the frequency of photon but depends only on the intensity of incident light.

Answer

depends both on intensity and frequency of incident radiation.
