Question

Which of the following correctly describes Albert Einstein’s interpretation of the photoelectric effect.

The maximum photoelectron energy is equal to the energy of the incident photon plus the minimum energy required to remove the electron from the metal.

The photoelectron energy is equal to the energy of the incident photon.

The maximum photoelectron energy is equal to the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the minimum energy required to remove the electron from the metal.

The maximum photoelectron energy is always more than the energy of the incident photon.

Answer 1

The photoelectron energy is equal to the energy of the incident photon

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question would be

C. "The maximum photoelectron energy is equal to the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the minimum energy required to remove the electron from the metal."
