Q26.This question has Statement −1 and Statement −2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. Statement-1 : A metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency v > v0 (the threshold frequency). The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential are Kmax and V0 respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface doubled, both the Kmax and V0 are also doubled. Statement-2 : The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light. (1) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; (2) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is the correct explanation of Statement-2 is not the correct explanation of Statement-1. Statement-1. (3) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true. (4) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of Einstein's photoelectric equation, specifically how maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential depend linearly on the frequency of incident light above the threshold, but are not directly doubled when frequency is doubled.
