The electrons are emitted in the photoelectric effect from a metal surface:

  • A
    Only if the frequency of the incident radiation is above a certain threshold value
  • B
    Only if the temperature of the surface is high
  • C
    At a rate that is independent of the nature of the metal
  • D
    With a maximum velocity proportional to the frequency of the incident radiation
