Solution

Sir J.J. Thomson observed that when a light of certain frequency strikes the surface of a metal, electrons are ejected from the metal. This phenomenon is known as photoelectric effect and the ejected electrons are called photoelectrons.

Work function of the metallic surface is?

Q. Assertion :When a light wave of appropriate intensity ( but any frequency) strikes a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the surface. Reason: The intensity of light wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
