MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : The photoelectric effect does not take place, if the energy of the incident radiation is less than the work function of a metal.

Reason $R$ : Kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is zero, if the energy of the incident radiation is equal to the work function of a metal.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct
  • D
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
b
To free the electron from metal surface minimum energy required, is equal to the work function of that metal.

So Assertion $A$, is correct.

$h v = w _{0}+ K. E. _{\max }$

if $h v = w _{0}$

$\Rightarrow$ $K.E.$ $_{\text {max }}=0$

Hence reason $R$, is correct, But $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
