4. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is
labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light.
Reason R : Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the

frequency of incident radiation.

Ans. : c
The maximum kinetic energy for the photoelectrons is E = hν − ϕ max

where, ν is the frequency of incident light and ϕ is photoelectric work function of

metal.
eV0 = hν − ϕ . . . . . . . . (1)

doubled, the stopping potential become more than double.

the Assertion.
(B) 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.
Ans. : a
Electrons being emitted as photoelectrons have different velocities. Actually all the
 electrons do not occupy the same level of energy but they occupy continuous band
and levels. So, electrons being knocked off from different levels come out with
different [Link] function is the energy required to pull the electron out of
metal surface. Naturally electrons on the surface will require less energy to be
pulled out hence will have lesser work function as compared with those deep
inside the metal. So, assertion and reason are correct and reason correctly explains
the assertion.

or comes out with out change in frequency.
Case I : When frequency of light is less than threshold frequency than no ejection
of electrons takes place so, photon comes out with same frequency.

workfunction energy is consumed into the ejection of electrons and rest energy is
consumed into kinetic energy of electron. So, photon completely disappears.
