IMPORTANT
Photoelectric effect supports quantum nature of light because
1. There is minimum frequency of light below which no photoelectrons are emitted.
2. Electric charge of photoelectrons is quantised
3. Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of the light and not on its intensity
4. Even when metal surface is faintly illuminated the photoelectrons leaves the surface immediately
