How does the maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron depend on the frequency of incident radiation? On which factors does it not depend?

  • A
    It depends linearly on frequency; it does not depend on the intensity of incident light.
  • B
    It depends quadratically on frequency; it does not depend on the work function of the metal.
  • C
    It depends linearly on frequency; it does not depend on the frequency of incident light.
  • D
    It depends inversely on frequency; it does not depend on the nature of the material.
