The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons depends on

A

potential

B

frequency

C

incident angle

D

pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoeletrons depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of the intensit y of the incident light so long as the latter is not too high.
