Question
Define the term resistivity and write the SI unit.

Answer

The resistivity of a material of a conductor is defined as the resistance offered by a conductor of length 1 m and area of cross-section $1 \mathrm{~m}^2$. Its SI unit is ohm $\times$ metre $(\Omega \mathrm{m})$.

Ultraviolet radiations of different frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$, are incident on two photosensitive materials having work functions $W_1$ and $W_2\left(W_1>W_2\right)$ respectively. The kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is same in both the cases. Which one of the two relations will be of the higher frequency?
