Transcribed Image Text:### Part A
A lamp emits light of 400 nm wavelength. When the light strikes a metal surface, a stream of electrons emerges from the metal. If the frequency of the light striking the surface is doubled, which of the following statements is true?
I. More electrons are emitted in a given time interval.
II. The electrons that are emitted are more energetic.
#### Options:
- ⬤ Neither I nor II
- ⬤ Both I and II
- ⬤ I only
- ⬤ II only
---
In this setup, the increase in the frequency of light affects the photoelectric effect, where electrons are emitted from the metal surface. The correct answer will explore the concepts of light frequency, electron emission rate, and energy.
