Question
A beam of monochromatic radiation is incident on a photosensitive surface. Answer the following question giving reason :
Do the emitted photoelectrons have the same kinetic energy?

Solution
Yes, all the emitted photoelectrons have the same kinetic energy as the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends upon the frequency of the incident radiation for a given photosensitive surface.
