Photoelectric EffectHard
Question
Photoelectric effect supports particle nature of light because
Options
A.there is a minimum frequency below which no photoelectrons are emitted
B.the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of light and is independent of intensity.
C.even when the metal surface is illuminated with very small intensity the photoelectrons (if ν ≥ νth) leave the surface immediately
D.electric charge of the photoelectrons is quantized
Solution
The photo electric effect can be explained if photon is considered as particle i.e.quantum nature
