Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
$Assertion$ $A$ : Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light.
$Reason$ $R$ : Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.

When a photon of energy $4.25\, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A\, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70\, eV$ is ${T_B} = ({T_A} - 1.50)\, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:

If the wavelength of incident light is decreased from $4000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $3600 \ \mathring{A}$,then the change in stopping potential will be ............. $V$.

Light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on a substance of threshold frequency $\nu_0$ (where $\nu_0 < \nu$). The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electron will be:

The work functions for metals $A, B$ and $C$ are $1.92 eV, 2.0 eV$ and $5 eV$ respectively. According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,which of these metals will emit photoelectrons for an incident radiation of wavelength $4100 \mathring{A}$?
