{If the electron behaved as a classical (non-quantum) particle and NOT somehow connected to a spring inside the metal, then one would expect that photoelectrons would be emitted _______} + above a threshold intensity - above a threshold wavelength - above a threshold frequency - at a specific frequency { If the electron behaved as a classical (non-quantum) particle and the electron was somehow connected to a spring inside the metal, then one would expect that photoelectrons would be emitted _______} - above a threshold intensity - above a threshold wavelength - above a thresholdfrequency + at a specific frequency { In the photoelectric effect, how was the maximum kinetic energy measured?} + by measuring the voltage required to prevent the electrons from passing between the two electrodes. - by measuring the wavelength of the light - by measuring the distance between the electrodes
