EasyAssertion : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon.
Reason : The ejection of electrons from a metallic surface is possible with a frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

$A$ photosensitive material is at $9\,m$ to the left of the origin and the source of light is at $7\,m$ to the right of the origin along the $x$-axis. The photosensitive material and the source of light start from rest and move,respectively,with $8\widehat{i}\,m/s$ and $4\widehat{i}\,m/s$. The ratio of intensities at $t = 0$ to $t = 3\,s$ as received by the photosensitive material is:

View SolutionThe cathode of a photocell is changed such that the work function changes from $w_1$ to $w_2$ $(w_2 > w_1)$. If the saturation currents before and after the change are $I_1$ and $I_2$ respectively,and all other conditions (such as incident light intensity and frequency) remain unchanged,then (assuming $h\nu > w_2$):

View SolutionThreshold frequency for a metal is $15 \times 10^{14} \, Hz$. The light of wavelength $6000 \, \text{Å}$ falls on the metal surface. Then photoelectrons [velocity of light in air, $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$]:
$A$ photocell is illuminated by a small bright source placed $d \; m$ away. When the same source of light is placed $\frac{d}{2} \; m$ away,the number of electrons emitted by the photocathode would
