The phenomenon of photoelectric emission occurs only when incident light has:
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Photoelectric effect requires photon energy hν ≥ work function φ of metal. Thus frequency ν must exceed threshold ν₀ = φ/h, regardless of intensity. Intensity affects number of electrons, not emission possibility. Memory aid: 'Photoelectric: frequency threshold (quantum effect); intensity affects current, not emission'. This quantum physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish classical wave prediction (intensity-dependent) from quantum reality (frequency-dependent); this was key evidence for photons.
