Which statement about the photoelectric effect experiment is false?
increasing the frequency of the light eventually would overcome the binding energy of the electrons and allow them to be ejected from the metal surface
energy in excess of the binding energy can be transferred to kinetic energy of the ejected electron to obey law of conservation of energy
increasing the intensity of the light (that surpasses the binding energy of the electron) would allow more electrons to be ejected
shining light below the threshold frequency of the metal will NOT dislodge electrons
increasing the intensity of light allows the electrons to be ejected from the surface
