(D) Wboth Assertion and Reason are false.
13. AMetion (A: The pholoelectrons produced bya monchromatic lbght beam incident on a metal surface have 3
aspread in their kinelic energles.
Reason (R): The energy of eletrons emtted from inside the metal surface, is lost in collision with the other
atoms in the metal.
14. Assertion (A): The clectrical conductivity of a semiconductor increase on doping
Reason (R): Doping always increases the number of electrons in the semiconductor.

15. Aserton (A: The same amount of current flows through the filament and line wire. But more heat is produced
in flament.
Reason (lR): Filament is made of malerial having high resistance and high melting point.
l6. Asertion (Aj: Aconvex mirror cannot form real images
Reason (R: Convex miror converges the parallel rays that are incident on it.
