Assertion: Threshold frequency supports wave nature of light.
Reason: Photo electrons are not emitted when incident light has frequency lesser than threshold frequency.

Important Questions on Photoelectric Emission and Production and Properties of X-rays





The variation of the stopping potential with the frequency of the light incident on two different photosensitive surfaces M1 and M2 is shown in the figure. Identify the surface which has greater value of the work function.

The following graph represents the variation of photo current with anode potential for a metal surface. Here and represents intensities and represents frequency for curves and respectively, then

Define the following with reference to photoelectric effect
Threshold frequency

Given figure shows few data points in a photo-electric effect experiment for a certain metal. The minimum energy for ejection of electrons from its surface is: (Planck's constant )








Define the following with reference to photoelectric effect
Stopping potential
