Q. When light falls on a photosensitive surface, electrons are emitted from the surface .The kinetic energy of these electrons does not depend on the:

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Solution:

Kinetic energy of photo electrons depend on the wavelength of light, frequency of light, work function of metal, which is property of material, and thickness of the surface layer. Whereas it is independent of intensity of light.
