Explain giving reasons for the following: (a) Photoelectric current in a photocell increases with the increase in the intensity of the incident radiation. (b) The stopping potential varies linearly with the frequency (v) of the incident radiation for a given photosensitive surface with the slope remaining the same for different surfaces. (c) Maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of incident radiation.
Solution:
(a) Variation of photocurrent with intensity of radiation (b) Stopping potential versus frequency for different materials (c) Independence of maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons (a) The collision of a photon can cause emission of a photoelectron (above the threshold frequency). As intensity increases, number of photons increases. Hence the current increases. (b) We have, ∴ Graph of with is a straight line and slope is a constant. (c) Maximum for different surfaces Hence, it depends on the frequency and not on the intensity of the incident radiation.
