Final answer:
The statement is pertaining to the photoelectric effect and it is false; increasing the frequency of light above the threshold value increases the kinetic energy of ejected electrons.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the photoelectric effect which can be described using Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect: KE = hf - Φ, where KE is the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, h is Planck's constant, f is the frequency of the incident light, and Φ is the work function (or binding energy) of the metal. Given that the frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (f = c / λ, with c being the speed of light), you can determine that increasing the frequency (or decreasing the wavelength) of incoming light, beyond the threshold frequency of the metal, will increase the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. Therefore, if the incoming light has sufficient energy, the statement is false as the electrons could indeed have a maximum kinetic energy of 1.39 eV.
