Question

Increasing intensity of light below threshold frequency does not eject electrons because:

  1. A
    Each photon still has insufficient energy
    Correct
  2. B
    Intensity reduces work function
  3. C
    More photons increase charge on nucleus
  4. D
    Electrons stop absorbing energy

Correct answer

Each photon still has insufficient energy

Explanation

Photon energy depends on frequency, not intensity.
