In the photoelectric effect experiment, a beam of light is shining on a metal surface and the electrons are emitted from the metal. One of the three key findings is that a minimum frequency of light is required for emission of electrons. This minimum frequency is found to be 5.5 × 1014 s-1 for an unknown metal. 4 Briefly describe the other two findings and draw a plot fo the KE of emitted electrons against light frequency.
