Solution
The correct options are A 50 W ultraviolet lamp C 1 W ultraviolet lamp Photoelectric effect depends on the frequency(or wavelength) of the light not intensity of the light. So, the light which has less wavelength less than threshold will lead to emission of photoelectrons and the one above that will not.
