MCQPhysics

CBSE · Class 12 · Physics · Dual Nature of Radiation and MatterIf the intensity of incident light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled, then the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons will:

Step-by-Step Solution

Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of incident radiation and the work function of the metal. Increasing the intensity increases the number of emitted photoelectrons per second, but does not affect their maximum kinetic energy.
