Question

A piece of metal is exposed to light of a high and low frequency.

Which statement correctly predicts how the metal will respond to the light and explains the metal's behavior?

When exposed to high frequency light, the metal will give off fewer electrons because higher frequency light is lower in energy.

When exposed to low frequency light, the metal will give off more electrons because lower frequency light is higher in energy.

When exposed to high frequency light, the metal will give off more electrons because higher frequency light is higher in energy.

When exposed to low frequency light, the metal will give off fewer electrons because lower frequency light is lower in energy.
