Statement-1 : When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is and the light is maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is . When the ultraviolet replaced by X-rays, both and increase.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

X-ray photons have greater energy than ultraviolet photons

and

both increase Electron energy spread exists even with monochromatic light because of initial energies, depths and energy losses Statement 1 is true, statement 2 false
