Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statement I is correct because according to Einstein's photoelectric equation, $K.E. = h\nu - W$, kinetic energy increases with the frequency of incident light. Statement II is correct because increasing intensity increases the number of incident photons, which increases the number of ejected photoelectrons (photoelectric current). However, Statement II does not explain Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is B.
