Homework Statement


Which of the following statements about the photoelectric effect are true?


-(T/F) The number of emitted electrons depends on the frequency, not the number of photons.
-(T/F) The radiation needs a minimum number of photons for any electrons to be released.
-(T/F) The energy of the radiation is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
-(T/F) The kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends on the frequency, not the number of photons.


please help. Thanks!
