A photon of energy hv is absorbed by a free electron of a metal having work- function phi lt hv . Choose the correct option(s).

A when a photon of energy hv is incidnet on an electron in a metal of work function phi ( lt hv) , the electron will not necesserily come out of the metal . R : work function is the minimum energy required to liberate an electron out of a metal . So some electons may require more energy for their liberation .

Light having photon energy hupsilon is incident on a metallic plate having work function phi to eject the electrons.
