If light with photon energy 2eV is incident suitably on the surface of a metal with work function 3eV, then
A
no electron will be emitted
B
the few electrons emitted will have a maximum kinetic energy of 1eV
C
the few electrons emitted will have a maximum kinetic energy of 3eV
D
many electrons will be emitted
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
