Question

Monochromatic light of a given wavelength is incident on a metal surface. However, no photoelectrons are emitted. If electrons are to be ejected from the surface, how should the incident light be adjusted?

Answer 1

Answer:Decrease Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

To remove the Electrons from a metal surface the minimum amount of energy is provided i.e. threshold Energy is Provided to remove the electrons.

If no photoelectrons are emitted then it can be Concluded that Energy is less than threshold Energy.

Energy is inversely Proportional to the wavelength of light thus to increase Energy we have to decrease the wavelength of monochromatic emission.
