According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the plot of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope:

  • A
    Is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the radiation
  • B
    Depends on the intensity of the radiation
  • C
    Depends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used
  • D
    Depends on the nature of the metals used
