Whether high
Answer to Problem 60A
No, high frequency light will not eject more photoelectrons.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In
Higher frequency means more energy and powerful photons which means it will impart more kinetic energy to the electrons after they are removed and as intensity governs the factor of ejecting a greater number of photons, so increasing intensity rather than increasing frequency will increase the number of photoelectrons.
Conclusion:
Higher frequency light will not eject a greater number of photoelectrons as higher frequency means more energetic photons not a greater number of photons.
