The wave nature of light cannot explain the photoelectric effect because,in the photoelectric effect,it is observed that:

  • A
    For a frequency of light below a certain value,the photoelectric effect does not take place,irrespective of intensity.
  • B
    The maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons is independent of the intensity of radiation.
  • C
    There is no time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of electrons.
  • D
    All of these.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If the photoelectrons emitted from this surface have the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{1}$,then:

Two parallel discs are connected by a rigid rod of length $L=0.5 \,m$ centrally. Each disc has a slit oppositely placed as shown in the figure. $A$ beam of neutral atoms is incident on one of the discs axially at different velocities $v$,while the system is rotated at an angular speed of $600 \,rev/s$,so that atoms only with a specific velocity emerge at the other end. Calculate the two largest speeds (in $m/s$) of the atoms that will emerge at the other end.
