The wave nature of light cannot explain the photoelectric effect because,in the photoelectric effect,it is observed that:

  • A
    For a frequency of light below a certain value,the photoelectric effect does not take place,irrespective of intensity.
  • B
    The maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons is independent of the intensity of radiation.
  • C
    There is no time lag between the incidence of radiation and the emission of electrons.
  • D
    All of these.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Out of microwaves,infrared rays,and ultraviolet rays,ultraviolet rays are the most effective for the emission of electrons from a metallic surface.
Statement $II$: Above the threshold frequency,the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is inversely proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,plates of three different metals $p, q,$ and $r$ are used,with work functions $\phi_p = 2.0\ eV$,$\phi_q = 2.5\ eV$,and $\phi_r = 3.0\ eV$,respectively. Three radiations of equal intensity with wavelengths $550\ nm, 450\ nm,$ and $350\ nm$ are incident on these plates. Which of the following $I \rightarrow V$ graphs is correct for the experimental results? $(hc = 1240\ eV\ nm)$
