Physics · Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
Which of the following observations from the photoelectric effect experiment can only be explained by the quantum nature of light?
- 1There exists a minimum threshold frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons are emitted, regardless of intensity.✓
- 2The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of the incident radiation.
- 3When a metal surface is illuminated, there is a significant time lag before electrons are ejected.
- 4The photoelectric current decreases as the intensity of the incident radiation increases.
Correct answer
There exists a minimum threshold frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons are emitted, regardless of intensity.
