MCQ
Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function $= hf_0$ where $f_0$ is the threshold frequency.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
b
The photosensitivity of a metal is high when its work function is small. Work function of a metal depends not on the threshold frequency but on the nature of the metal.
