Photoelectric effect supports quantum nature of light because
- there is a minimum frequency of light below which no photoelectrons are emitted.
- the maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons depends only on the frequency of light and not on its intensity.
- even when the metal surface is faintly illuminated, the photoelectrons leave the surface immediately.
- electric charge of the photoelectrons is quantized.
Answer
(C) even when the metal surface is faintly illuminated, the photoelectrons leave the surface immediately.
