Physics Question on Photoelectric Effect

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons depends only on

A

potential

B

frequency

C

incident angle

D

pressure

Answer

frequency

Explanation

Solution

Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of the intensity of the incident light so long as the latter is not too high.
