    In photoelectric effect, the electrons are  ejected from metals if the incident light has a certain minimum :

    A) Wavelength      

    B)       frequency          

    C)       amplitude          

    D)       angle of incidence

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In photoelectric effect for a given photosensitive material, there exists a certain minimum cut-off frequency, called the threshold frequency, below which no emission of photoelectrons takes place no matter how intense the light is. Note: The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process without any apparent time lag \[(\sim {{10}^{-9}}S)\] even when the incident radiation is made exceedingly dim.
