In the case of the photoelectric effect:

1. Since photons are absorbed as single (discrete) units, there is no significant time delay in the emission of photoelectrons.
2. According to Einstein, the critical frequency \(\nu_{0} =\dfrac{e\phi }{h},\) where \(\phi\) is the work function and \(h\) is Planck’s constant. When light with this frequency \((\nu_0)\) hits the material, it causes electrons to be ejected with the maximum possible kinetic energy.
3. Only a small fraction of the incident photons succeed in ejecting photoelectrons, while the majority are absorbed by the system as a whole and generate thermal energy.
4. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons depends on the intensity of the radiation.
