1. In the photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted from a metal surface specifically?

Only if the incident radiation’s frequency exceeds a certain threshold value

Only if the metal surface’s temperature is especially high

At a rate that is independent of which metal is used

With a maximum velocity that stays fixed, regardless of the incident frequency

No electrons are emitted at all unless the light’s frequency clears the metal’s specific threshold frequency — intensity, temperature, and the metal used don’t override this fundamental requirement.
