Please check to see if my solution is correct:
Question:
If a light source were increased by a factor of 2 in intensity, what would happen to the value of KE_max of each photoelectron?
My solution:
KE_max would stay the same because increasing the intesity by a factor of two would only increase the amount of photoelectrons by a factor of 2. However each photoelectron would still have the same amount of energy [tex]KE=hf-\phi[/tex] since each electron only absorbs energy from one photon.
Is my solution entirely correct?
