Below the threshold frequency, no electrons are emitted no matter how great the light’s:

Answer: intensity.

  • A intensity
  • B frequency
  • C direction
  • D source

Correct answer: A. intensity

Explanation: Intensity cannot compensate for too low a frequency - the effect depends on frequency.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
