Sol. Increasing intensity means number of incident photons are increased.
Kinetic energy of ejected electrons depends on the frequency of incident photons, not the
intensity.

Sol. For every large distance P.E. = 0
& total energy = 2.6 + 0 = 2.6 eV
Finally in first excited state of H atom total energy
= – 3 .4 eV
Loss in total energy = 2.6 – (– 3.4)
=6eV
