Assertion: The kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of incident radiation.
Reason: The kinetic energy of photoelectrons is determined by the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal.
Reason: The kinetic energy of photoelectrons is determined by the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Option A is correct because the kinetic energy of photoelectrons is directly related to the frequency of incident radiation and the work function of the metal.

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
