When monochromatic radiation of intensity 
falls on a metal surface, the number of photoelectrons and their maximum kinetic energy are 
and 
respectively. If the intensity of radiation is 
, the number of emitted electrons and their maximum kinetic energy are respectively
A
and 
B
and 
C
and 
D

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The number of photoelectrons ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of incident light. Maximum kinetic energy is independent of intensity of incident light but depends upon the frequency of light.
