Is the kinetic energy of all photoelectrons from a given metal the same?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

photoelectrons from when a metal is irradiated with radiation a suitable frequency, the photoelectrons emitted have kinetic energy ranging from 0 to a certain maximum value equal to the photon energy minus the work function of the metal.
