Light of wavelength, , strikes a metal surface with intensity and the metal emits electrons per seco — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The number of photoelectrons emitted ($Y$) is directly proportional to the intensity ($X$) of the incident light. If intensity is halved, $Y$ is halved. The maximum kinetic energy ($Z$) depends only on the wavelength and is independent of intensity, so $Z$ remains the same. Therefore, correct answer is C.
