Answer:
Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Explanation:
According to Einstein's equation of photoelectric effect, the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron is the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal. The work function of the metal referee to the minimum energy that must be supplied in order to eject an electron from a metal surface. The energy of the incident photon must exceed the work function of the metal.
When we look at the electromagnetic spectrum, only the selected colours have frequency above the threshold frequency as shown by the image attached below.

- Get 3 cups of water at the exact same temperature, using the thermometer to check.
- Label the cups as ‘whole’, ‘pieces’, and ‘crushed’
- Next, get something to dissolve, in this case, polident. Take one of the polident tablets and break it into 4 pieces, and set it aside.
- Take another polident tablet and this time put it into a different cup, and crush it. Set it aside.
- Keep the last tablet whole.
- Set up your stopwatch and drop the polident tablet that is whole in the cup labeled ‘whole’, starting the stopwatch at the same time.
- Watch the cup and see when the tablet is fully dissolved, then stop the stopwatch.
- Record the time in the table.
- Repeat steps 6-8 for both the ‘pieces’ and ‘crushed’ tablets.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
Stay Brainy!
