happens to the kinetic energy of photo electrons when
intensity of light is doubled?
[2]​

The energy of each photon can be transformed into kinetic energy and as this energy does not change, the energy of both photoelectrons remains constant,

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein, who assumed that the lz is made up of particles called photons each of a given energy, therefore the photoelectric effect can be explained as a collision of particles.

From this explanation we see that the intensity is proportional to the number of existing particles, when we double the intensity we double the number of particles, but the energy of each particle does not change, therefore if we use the conservation of energy.

The energy of each photon can be transformed into kinetic energy and as this energy does not change, the energy of both photoelectrons remains constant, only the number of electrons expelled changes.

option number c is the right answer.
