As the intensity of incident light increases

Question

As the intensity of incident light increases (A) Photoelectric current increases (B) Photoelectric current decreases (C) Kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons increases (D) Kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons decreases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Intensity increases means more photons of same energy will emit more electrons of same energy, hence only photoelectric current increases.

Q. As the intensity of incident light increases

Photoelectric current increases

Photoelectric current decreases

Kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons increases

Kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons decreases

Intensity increases means more photons of same energy will emit more electrons of same energy, hence only photoelectric current increases.
