The velocity of escape of photoelectrons
A)increases with increasing frequency of the incident light.
B)decreases with increasing frequency of the incident light.
C)is independent of the frequency of the incident light.
D)is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.
E)depends only on the intensity of the incident light.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The velocity of escape of photoelectrons depends on the energy of the incident photons, which is directly proportional to the frequency of the incident light. So, as the frequency of the incident light increases, the velocity of escape of photoelectrons also increases.
