Question
How the photoelectric effect depends on time? Explain.
✓
Answer
→Experimental studies of photoelectric effect have shown that if the frequency of incident radiation is greater than the threshold frequency of a photosensitive metal, electrons are instantaneously emitted from the metal, even for low intensities.
→If the frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, electrons are emitted in only $10^{-9}$ sec or less.
→If the frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, electrons are emitted in only $10^{-9}$ sec or less.
