Hi,
I am new to this forum, doing A level physics, and have problems with photoelectrons and quanta etc...
This is a question I would like help with:
"Experiments on the photoelectric effect show that:
-the kinetic energy of photoelectrons released depends upon the frequency of the incident light and not on its intensity
-light below a certain threshold frequency cannot release photoelectrons
How do these conclusions support a particle theory but not a wave theory of light?"
I would apprecaite any input.
Thanks
