A light of wavelength belonging to the blue region of the visible spectrum causes
photoelectric emission in a metal.
When light of wavelength belonging to the red region is incident on the metal,
photoelectric emission does not take place.
When an em wave belonging to IR region is incident on the metal, will
photoelectric emission take place? Why/ why not?
A. Yes, because IR rays are highly energetic.
B. No, because IR rays cannot cause photoelectric emission.
C. Yes, because IR rays have a higher frequency than red light.
D. No, because IR rays have a longer wavelength than red light.

A. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
for assertion.
B. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation for assertion.
C. Assertion is true but reason is false.
D. Assertion is false but reason is true.
E.Both False.

2. Assertion (A): De Broglie's wavelength of a freely falling body keeps decreasing


with time.
Reason (R): The momentum of the freely falling body increases with time.

3.Assertion (A): The photoelectric effect supports the wave nature of light.
Reason (R): There exists a maximum wavelength above which photoelectric
emission does NOT take place.

4.Assertion (A): If electrons pass through a double-slit, an interference pattern is


produced.
Reason (R): Electrons behave as both particles and waves.

5.Assertion(A): The number of photoelectrons ejected from a metal increases if


the intensity of the light source is increased for a frequency greater than the
threshold frequency.
Reason(R): An increase in the intensity of light increases the energy of each
photon.

6.ASSERTION: Electromagnetic wave picture of light can also explain the


photoelectric effect in addition to the particle nature of light.
REASON: Electric field of an em wave would cause the electrons in the metal to
oscillate and tear free from the surface when the amplitude of the oscillation
becomes large enough.

7.In a photoelectric effect experiment, the graph of stopping potential V


versus reciprocal of wavelength λ of incident light for a given material is plotted
below.
If the existing material is replaced with another material and the intensity of the
light is increased, which of the following is most likely to happen?
A. The slope theta of the line will increase.
B. The slope theta of the line will decrease.
C. There will not be any change in the graph.
D. The line will cut the 1/λ axis at a different point.

8. The threshold frequency for photoelectric effect on sodium corresponds to a


wavelength of 500 nm. Its work function is about
