Ultraviolet light is shone on a piece of metal that has a known work function, and electrons are observed being produced through the interaction of the light with the metal.

What difference is observed in the number of electrons produced per unit time?
A. The same number are produced. B. More are produced. C. Without knowing more about the wavelengths used, one cannot answer. D. Fewer are produced.
