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.

- Explain the following observations using Einstein’s photoelectric equation:
(a) Photoelectric emission does not occur from a surface when the frequency of the light incident on it is less than a certain minimum value.
(b) It is the frequency, and not the intensity of the incident light which affects the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
(c) The cut-off voltage \( V_0 \) versus frequency \( \nu \) of the incident light curve is a straight line with a slope \( \frac{h}{e} \).
