The photo-electric effect occurs only when the incident light has more than a certain critical____________?
Correct answer: C. frequency
- A. intensity
- B. speed
- C. frequency
- D. wave length
Explanation
Photoelectric emission requires the incident light frequency to exceed a threshold frequency determined by the material's work function. Increasing intensity alone cannot eject electrons if the frequency is below this threshold.
