VS=ehv−ϕ
so stopping potential doesn't depend on Intensity
I= Aηhv
On increasing intensity no. of photons per sec. n increases so the no. of electrons.
JEE Main 2025 — Physics Modern Physics
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of incident light the stopping potential increases.
Reason R : Increase in intensity of light increases the rate of photoelectrons emitted, provided the frequency of incident light is greater than threshold frequency.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

An electron is travelling with a velocity $v$ in free space and when it enters a medium, its velocity is reduced by $20\%$. The de Broglie wavelength of electron in the medium is $\alpha\lambda_0$, where $\lambda_0$ is its de Broglie wavelength in free space. The value of $\alpha$ is _______.
The maximum rated power of the LED is $2$ mW and it is used in the circuit with input voltage of $5$ V as shown in the figure below. The current through resistance $R_S$ is $0.5$ mA. The minimum value of the resistance of $R_S$, to ensure that the LED is not damaged is _______ k$\Omega$. 
Two $4$ bits binary numbers, $A = 1101$ and $B = 1010$ are given in the inputs of a logic circuit shown in figure below. The output $(Y)$ will be: 
Assuming the experimental mass of ${}^{12}_{6}C$ as $12\text{ u}$, the mass defect of ${}^{12}_{6}C$ atom is _______ $\text{MeV}/c^2$. (Mass of proton $= 1.00727\text{ u}$, mass of neutron $= 1.00866\text{ u}$, $1\text{ u} = 931.5\text{ MeV}/c^2$ and $c$ is the speed of the light in vacuum).
A light wave described by $E=60\left[\sin \left(3 \times 10^{15}\right) t+\sin \left(12 \times 10^{15}\right) t\right]$ (in SI units) falls on a metal surface of work function 2.8 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of ejected photoelectron is (approximately) $\_\_\_\_$ eV. $\left(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}\right.$. s. and $\left.e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\right)$
