Assertion $(A)$: In the photoelectric effect,on increasing the intensity of light,both the number of electrons emitted and the kinetic energy of each of them increase,but the photoelectric current remains unchanged.
Reason $(R)$: The photoelectric current depends only on the wavelength of light.

  • B
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • C
    $(A)$ and $(R)$ both are false.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.

According to the particle theory of light (Newton's corpuscular theory),what is the velocity of light in a dense medium compared to that in a rare medium?

Assertion: If the speed of a charged particle increases,both the mass and the charge increase.
Reason: If $m_0$ is the rest mass and $m$ is the mass at velocity $v$,then $m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$,where $c$ is the speed of light.
