प्रश्न
An increase in the intensity of the radiation causing photo-electric emission from a surface does not affect the maximum K.E. of the photoelectrons. Explain.

उत्तर
The current in the photoelectric cell increases as the intensity of the incident light increases. However, the energy of the photons (hν) does not rise with increasing intensity, and hence the kinetic energy of the released electrons does not increase.
