Green light ejects electrons from a certain photosensitive surface, yellow light does not. Will red and violet light eject electrons from the same surface?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`lambda_("red") gt lambda_("yellow")`
`implies` Red light can not eject electrons from the photosensitive surface But `lambda_("blue") lt lambda_("green")`
`implies` Blue light can eject electrons from the certain photosensitive surface.
