If the intensity is increased, more photo-electrons are emitted, but they have same max k.e.
Max k.e depends on frequency, i.e high frequency means high k.e.
Yeah high frequency means high photon energy. But why does it mean that there will be less photons arriving per unit time?

I thought that depended on the values given in the question. If they are all given in 2 s.f shouldn't t your final answer be in 2 s.f as well? :unsure:

Yeah that too! but more significant number means less uncertainty...so 3 sf is much reliable. im talking about paper 4 here.
For paper 5, you're right!:)

The no. of photons arriving per unit time depends on intensity. It doesn't depend on frequency. If less photons are arriving that means the intensity is less! :)

no no, I'm talking about ppr 2 and all. for eg: if you are required to find the force and you are given m=5.0kg and a=1.2 m s^-2 then wont force=ma=6.0 N and not 6.00N?
