MCQ
With the decrease in the wave length of the incident radiation the velocity of the photoelectrons emitted from a given metal
- ARemains same
- ✓Increases
- CDecreases
- DIncreases first and then decreases
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Increases
As wavelength decrease, frequency increases and hence $K.E$ of photoelectrons increases, thereby increasing the velocity.
