Best Answer

Yes, definitely . For the given metal of particular work function, decrease in wavelength of the incident beam increases the maximum value of kinetic energy with which the photoelectrons are emitted, but the photoelectric current remains the same, stoppage voltage increases.

Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?

Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.


Does kinetic energy of photo electron depend upon intensity of light?

No. Kinetic Energy of a photon depends only on the frequency of the light (or in other words frequency of the photons which the light comprises of). Intensity of light, on the other hand, is a way to talk about how many photons are there in, say, a beam of light (putting it in simple words)!


What is a incoming ray?

A incoming ray is the light reflecting upon a solid surface without it being absorbed. The incoming light is also referred to as vacuum wavelength.
