The maximum energy of the electrons released in photocell is independent of:

Explanation

The working of a photocell can be explained by the photoelectric effect.•The photoelectrons which are released when a beam of light falls on the cathode are independent of the intensity of light. •It does depend upon the frequency of incident light, the effect will only be observed if the incident light has the frequency of a specific value known as threshold frequency.•And should have a specific wavelength known as cutoff wavelength.• As long as the incident wave doesn't have the frequency and wavelength equal or greater than the required values no effect will be observed.• Different metals have different values of threshold frequencies so the nature of the cathode is also taken into consideration. •consider the following equationK.Emax= hv-work functionThis shows that the max kinetic energy of electrons depends upon frequency, wavelength, and work function and work function depends upon the nature of the metal being used as a cathode.So it's independent of the intensity of light.
