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.
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.

The electrons are emitted in the photoelectric effect from a metal surface
What is the de Broglie wavelength of a bullet of mass 0.04 kg travelling at the speed of 1 km/s?
Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface when UV light of wavelength is incident on it. The minimum negative potential required to stop the emission of electrons is . Calculate:
(i) the energy of the incident photons
(ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted. An electron is accelerated by a potential difference of V volt to acquire kinetic energy equal to maximum kinetic energy of ejected photoelectron from a metal of work function 3.2 eV, using a light of wavelength Value of V is Two monochromatic beams and of equal intensity , hit a screen. The number of photons hitting the screen by beam is twice that by beam . Then, what can inference you about their frequencies? A 5 W source emits monochromatic light of wavelength . When placed 0.5 m away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved to a distance of 1.0m, the number of photoelectrons liberated will be reduced by a factor of
