42. The number of photo electrons emitted for light of a frequency $v$ (higher than the threshold frequency $v_0$ ) is proportional to:

[2009]

(a) Threshold frequency $(v_0)$

(b) Intensity of light

(c) Frequency of light $(v)$

(d) $v-v_0$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 42. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) The number of photoelectrons emitted is proportional to the intensity of incident light. Saturation current $\propto$ intensity.
