Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (b)

Solution:

  1. For photoelectric effect,

KE=EE0

where,

KE= Kinetic energy of ejected electrons.  E= Energy of incident light =hν E0= Threshold energy =hv0 v= Frequency of incident light  v0= Threshold frequency 

Slope =±1, intercept =E0

So, option (a) is correct.

(ii) KE of ejected electrons does not depend on the intensity of incident light.

So, option (b) is correct.

(iii) When, number of ejected electrons is plotted with frequency of light, we get

So, option (c) is also correct.

(iv) KE=hvhv0

Slope =+h, intercept =hv0. So, option (d) is not correct.
