MCQ
In the photoeletric effect, electrons are emitted:
  • A
    At a rate that is proportional to the amplitude of the incident radiation.
  • B
    With a maximum velocity proportional to the frequency of the incident radiation.
  • C
    At a rate that is independent of the emitter.
  • Only if the frequency of the incident radiations is above a certain threshold value.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Only if the frequency of the incident radiations is above a certain threshold value.
