Question

Monochromatic light of a given wavelength is incident on a metal surface. however, no photoelectrons are emitted. if electrons are to be ejected from the surface, how should the incident light be adjusted? monochromatic light of a given wavelength is incident on a metal surface. however, no photoelectrons are emitted. if electrons are to be ejected from the surface, how should the incident light be adjusted? light of a longer wavelength should be used. light of a shorter wavelength should be used. the intensity of the light should be decreased. the intensity of the light should be increased.

Answer 1

If the object, ends up with a positive charge, then it is missing electrons. if it is missing electrons, then it must have been removed form the object during the rubbing process.
