I'm wondering what would happen if you have light (let's say UV) passing through a double slit. That would make an interference pattern right?

How would the photo-electic apparatus respond when palced in the peaks and valleys of the interference pattern?

Lots of electrons from peaks, not so much from valleys. What else were you expecting?
