Below the threshold frequency, photoelectric emission:
- Is very intense
- Is delayed once
- Doubles slowly
- Does not occur
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Does not occur
1. Each photon must carry at least the work function.
2. A photon below the threshold cannot supply it.
3. So no emission occurs at all.
4. The answer is does not occur.
