AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends on the intensity of the incident radiation" is true or false, we can analyze the situation using the principles of the photoelectric effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Photoelectric Effect**: The photoelectric effect occurs when light (or electromagnetic radiation) strikes a photosensitive surface and causes the emission of electrons. The energy of the emitted electrons (photoelectrons) depends on the properties of the incident light. 2. **Einstein's Photoelectric Equation**: ...
