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.
