Which of the following describes the maximum energy of a photoelectron?
AThe maximum energy of a photoelectron is always the same as the energy of the incident photon.
BThe maximum energy of a photoelectron cannot be greater than the energy of the incident photon plus the minimum energy needed to escape from the surface of the metal.
CThe maximum energy of a photoelectron cannot be greater than the energy of the incident photon minus the minimum energy needed to escape from the surface of the metal.
DThe maximum energy of a photoelectron is less than the work function of the metal.
