Assertion: The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.

Reason: The work function of the metal is its characteristics property.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
The correct answer is B because both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. The spread in kinetic energies is due to varying depths of electron origin, not just the work function.
