JEE Main 2025Dual Nature of Matter Question with Solution

JEE Main 2025 (4 Apr Shift 1)

Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason
Assertion A: In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of incident light the stopping potential increases.
Reason R : Increase in intensity of light increases the rate of photoelectrons emitted, provided the frequency of incident light is greater than threshold frequency.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Correct answer
B is false but is true

Step-by-step explanation


so stopping potential doesn't depend on Intensity

On increasing intensity no. of photons per sec. increases so the no. of electrons.
