Physics Electron, Photon, Photoelectric Effect and X-rays JEE Main 2023 - ( Dual Nature of Matter ) MCQ (Single Correct)

Given below are two statements:

Statement-I: Stopping potential in photoelectric effect does not depend on the power of the light source.

Statement-II: For a given metal, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron depends on the wavelength of the incident light.

In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect

Both statement I and statement II are correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
