Threshold frequency in photoelectric effect is the frequency below which:

Answer: All of above.

  • A No photons are emitted
  • B Electron emission does not occur
  • C Maximum KE is zero
  • D All of above

Correct answer: D. All of above

Explanation: Below threshold frequency: E = hf < phi. No electrons are emitted regardless of light 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.
