How does increasing the frequency of the incident photon impact the photoelectric cell in Figure 1?
A. More electrons will be ejected, but at the same speed
B. The same number of electrons will be ejected, but they will be faster
C. More electrons will be ejected, and they will be ejected with greater speed
D. The system will experience no change
The answer is B. But since E = hv / lamda and since v = ( f )( lambda) wouldn't the Energy decrease thus decreasing the speed of the electrons?
