MCQ - 54-10521

Question:

In a photoelectric effect monochromatic light is incident on a metal surface. If the incident light of twice the intensity but of same wavelength, then what is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron?

  1. Becomes double
  2. Becomes four times
  3. Becomes Half
  4. Becomes four times

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, the kinetic energies of the emitted electrons depend on the frequency of the incident photons. With the increase in intensity of the light there is no change in frequency, so the kinetic energies of the electrons will remain the same. However; the increase in intensity of light means the increase in number of photons, so the number of emitted electrons will be increased.
