15. Photoelectric Effect Classical Expectations Kinetic energy of ejected electrons should depend on strength of electric field and therefore intensity of light and not the number of ejected electrons. Maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons should not depend on frequency of light. Any frequency light should be capable of ejecting electrons. Observations Kinetic energy of ejected electrons does not depend on intensity of light! Increasing intensity will produce more ejected electrons. Maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons depends on frequency of light. Frequency must exceed cutoff frequency before any electrons are ejected
