The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency \( 'A' \times 10^{12} \, \text{hertz} \) and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of \( \frac{1}{'B'} \, \text{watt per steradian} \). 'A' and 'B' are respectively:
- 540 and \( \frac{1}{683} \)
- 540 and 683
- 450 and \( \frac{1}{683} \)
- 450 and 683
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The definition of candela specifies:
- $A = 540 \times 10^{12}$ hertz is the frequency of the monochromatic light.
- $B = 683$ is the luminous efficacy in terms of watts per steradian.
These values are based on the standard SI definition of candela.
Top Questions on Photoelectric Effect
- Answer the following giving reason:
(a) All the photoelectrons do not eject with the same kinetic energy when monochromatic light is incident on a metal surface.
(b) The saturation current in case (a) is different for different intensity.
(c) If one goes on increasing the wavelength of light incident on a metal sur face, keeping its intensity constant, emission of photoelectrons stops at a certain wavelength for this metal.- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other one is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Emission of electrons in the photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electron potential to the photoemissive substance.
Reason (R): A negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with the frequency of incident radiation.
