Light is incident on the surface of a metal. If the wavelength of the incident photons becomes smaller, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from the surface

Light is incident on the surface of a metal. If the wavelength of the incident photons becomes smaller, the maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons emitted from the surface ___will decrease

Explanation:

when light is incident on the surface of a metal and electrons are emitted from the surface due to heating is called photoelectric effect.

Einstein proposed the statement that light has a particle nature which exist in the form of small small packets known as photons.

He said that when light is incident on the surface of a metal then electrons are emitted due to head=ting effect of the surface and electrons emitted are called photo electrons.

This theory of photoelectric effect states that energy of photo electrons is directly proportional to amplitude of the light and it's frequency. That's why if wavelength/amplitude of incident photons becomes smaller then the maximum kinetic energy of  photo electrons emitted from the surface will decrease
