If the incident light frequency is below the threshold frequency of a metal, then increasing the intensity results in:

Answer: no photoemission.

  • A no photoemission
  • B delayed emission
  • C weak emission
  • D strong emission

Correct answer: A. no photoemission

Explanation: Below the threshold frequency no photoelectrons are emitted regardless of intensity.

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.
