141.In a photoelectric emission process the maximum energy, of the photo electrons increases with increasing intensity of the incident light. [1986-3 Marks]
Ans.
False : Maximum energy of photoelectrons increases with increasing frequency of incident light. The number of photoelectrons emitted increases with increasing intensity of light.
142.The order of magnitude of the density of nuclear matter is 104 kg m-2 [1989-2 Marks]
Ans.
False : Nuclear density is of the order of I0i7 kg/m3. Hence the statement is false.
