The threshold frequency is the frequency below which – (1) photo current increases with voltage (2) photo current decreases with voltage (3) photo electric emission is not possible (4) photo current is constant

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) photo electric emission is not possible Explanation: The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons by substances, especially metals, when light falls on their surfaces. The photoelectric effect will not occur when the frequency of the incident light is less than the threshold frequency as the electrons are unable to gain sufficient energy to overcome the electrostatic barrier of the work function of the metal.

Description : A sine wave voltage is applied across an inductor. When the frequency of the voltage is decreased, the current decreases.

Last Answer : The question seems to be wrong. Increase in frequency would actually decrease the current through the Inductor. This happens because inductive reactance Xl is directly proportional to frequency. And if frequency increases the value of Xl would ... vice versa. Xl= 2*pi*f*L I=E/Z Z=sqrt(R^2+Xl^2)
