JEE Main 2023 — Dual Nature of Matter Question with Solution
JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 2)
Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Stopping potential in photoelectric effect does not depend on the power of the light source.
Statement II : For a given metal, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Step-by-step explanation
Stopping potential depends on frequency of incident light and nature of the emitter material. It is independent of the power of the light source.
Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is stated as, Where, is the Planck’s constant, is the frequency, is wavelength of incident light and is the work function of the metal surface.
Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
So both statements I and II are correct
