MediumPhotoelectrons are ejected from a metal when light of frequency $v$ falls on it. Pick out the wrong statement from the following:
- ANo electrons are emitted if $v$ is less than $W/h$,where $W$ is the work function of the metal.
- BThe ejection of the photoelectrons is instantaneous.
- CThe maximum energy of the photoelectrons is $hv$.
- DThe maximum energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of the light.
