Which of the following statements are true for
thephoto-electric effect?
A) The maximum energy of the ejected electrons is
proportionalto the intensity of the incoming photons.
B) The maximum energy of the ejected electrons is
proportionalto the velocity of the photons.
C) The maximum energy of the ejected electrons varies
linearlywith the frequency of the incoming photons.
D) The frequency of the photons must be larger than a
certainminimum value in order to eject electrons from the
metal.

Respuesta :

Answer: the statements that are true for

the photo-electric effect is statement D. ( The frequency of the photons must be larger than a certain minimum value in order to eject electrons from the metal.)

Explanation:In the photo electric effect process, if an electron within some material absorbs the energy of one photon and acquires more energy than the work function (the electron binding energy) of the material, it is ejected.
