Question about the photoelectric effect

e a source with maximum-Experimental results of the photoelectric emission1.For a given metal and frequency of incident radiation, the rate at which photoelectrons are ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.2.For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons can be emitted.......

ya...there is no liberation of more or less electrons when intensity is same

with the source of greater intensity,it has capacity to liberate more electrons
but frequency only changes the maximum kinetic energy i.e a source with maximum frequency (greater than threshold frequency) has the capacity to increase the kinetic energy of electrons.

Experimental results of the photoelectric emission

1.For a given metal and frequency of incident radiation, the rate at which photoelectrons are ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.

2.For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons can be emitted. This frequency is called the threshold frequency.

3.For a given metal of particular work function, increase in intensity of incident beam increases the magnitude of the photoelectric current, though stopping voltage remains the same.

4.For a given metal of particular work function, increase in frequency of incident beam increases the maximum kinetic energy with which the photoelectrons are emitted. Thus the stopping voltage increases. In practice the number of electrons does change because the probability that each photon results in an emitted electron is a function of photon energy.

5.Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of the intensity of the incident light so long as the latter is not too high.

6.The time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of a photoelectron is very small, less than 10−9 second.

7.The direction of distribution of emitted electrons peaks in the direction of polarization (the direction of the electric field) of the incident light, if it is linearly polarized.
