Radiations of frequency `10^(15)Hz` is incident on three photosenstive surfaces. A,B and C. Following observations are recorded,
(a) Surface A. No photoemission occurs.
(b) Surface B. Photoemission occurs but the photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy.
(c) Surface C. Photoemission occurs and photoelectrons have some KE.
Based on Einstein's photoelectric equation, expalain the three observations.

Radiation of frequency 10^(15)Hz is incident separately on two photosensitive surfaces P and Q. The following observations were made: (i) surface P: Photoemission occurs but the photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy (ii) surface Q: Photoemission occurs and electrons have non-zero kinetic energy. Which of these two has higher work function? If the frequency of incident light is reduced, what will happen to photoelectron emission in the two cases?
