← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when high-energy ultraviolet photons interact with a Cesium metal surface?
A)Photoelectric emission reduces electron count✓
B)Increased nuclear electron capture occurs
C)Compton scattering increases photon wavelength
D)Electron spin resonance induces ionization
💡 Explanation
Photoelectric emission releases electrons because the ultraviolet photons transfer energy to the electrons, exceeding the work function via the photoelectric effect. Therefore, photoemission happens; rather than nuclear capture affecting the nucleus or Compton scattering primarily influencing photon characteristics.
