Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is negates the photoelectric effect.

When an electron absorbs energy it jumps from a lower shell to a higher shell. When the electron releases energy it jumps from a higher shell to a lower shell.

The Kinetic energy of an ejected electron is


K_(max)=hf-\varphi

Where,

h = Planck's Constant

f = Frequency of incident photon


\varphi= Work function

So, this statement is false.
