Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and other is labelled as Reason R.

           Assertion A : The photoelectric effect does not takes place, if the energy of the incident radiation is less than the work function of a metal.

           Reason R : Kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is zero, if the energy of the incident radiation is equal to the work function of a metal.

           In the light of the above statements, chose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Option 1 - <p>&nbsp;Both <strong>A </strong>and <strong>R </strong>are correct and <strong>R</strong> is the correct explanation of <strong>A</strong></p>
Option 2 - <p>Both <strong>A </strong>and <strong>R </strong>are correct but <strong>R </strong>is <strong>not </strong>the correct explanation of <strong>A</strong></p>
Option 3 - <p><strong>A </strong>is correct but <strong>R </strong>is not correct</p>
Option 4 - <p><strong>A </strong>is not correct but <strong>R</strong> is correct</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

To free the electron from metal surface minimum energy required, is equal to the work function of that metal.

              So Assertion A, is correct

              have = w0 + K.Emax

                        If have = w0

              Þ K.Emax = 0

              Hence reason R, is correct, But R is not th

Not really. The electric dipole moment vector directs or points from the negative charge to the positive charge. But the electric field lines that a dipole creates will point away from the positive and move to the negative charge.

Yes, the cube, which is a closed surface containing only one electric dipole will make electric flux zero. This follows Gauss's Law when the total charge inside it is zero. The field lines entering the surface will exit, and that would result in zero net flux.

The magnitude of each charge and the distance that separates them. 

Gauss Law is only concerned with the total enclosed charge that finally tells us the total flux. The charges outside may change field patterns. They not affect the total flux. It's actually incorrect to assume the field due to the external charges should also affect the flux through the Gaussian sur

Gauss Law does not directly give the electric field in all cases. It can only be used in calculations for symmetrical surfaces: spherical, cylindrical, or planar.
