Does wavelength of the incident rays play a role in the phenomenon of photoelectric effect?

Yes definitely. Reciprocal of wavelength is proportional to frequency
as lambda = v /frequency. v - the speed of the wave.
The frequency has to be greater than some minimum value known to be the threshold frequency. As frequency increases then kinetic energy of the photo electron also increases. If the frequency of the incident photon is less than the threshold and however higher the intensity, there is no chance of ejection of photo electron right from the surface of the substance. So no photo electric emission is possible.

Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
What is the opposite effect with respect to photoelectric phenomenon?
makwa
which event happens in a solar cell when the photoelectric effect occurs?
When you shine a certain level of light wavelength on metal, you can knock electrons off the atoms of the metal. This phenomenon was explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1921.
Is there a phenomenon that does not support the wave nature of light?
the photoelectric effect doesn't
What is Einstein photoelectric effect?
Einstein's photoelectric effect work found that the incident light involved in the photoelectric effect was made of individual quanta (photons) that interacted with the metal's electrons like discrete particles, not waves.

Which phenomenon shows the light interacts with matter as a particle of discrete quantity?
photoelectric effect
What happens to electrons in photoelectric effect?

What happens to electrons in the photoelectric effect (apex)?
When you shine a certain level of light wavelength on metal, you can knock electrons off the atoms of the metal. This phenomenon was explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1921.
Can photoelectric effect be observed for all metals under same condition of incident light?
no , it cannot be observed in same conditions of incident light because, the threshold energy will be different for different metals.so in that particular threshold energy only the photoelectric effect for that metal can be observed.....
The emission of electrons from metal caused by light striking the metal is called?
Photoelectric effect.===================================== This phenomenon was discovered by Albert Einstein, for which he received the Nobel Prize for Physics. The solar cells that we use today is a direct application of the photoelectric effect, as the special metal absorbs Sun's photons and gives off electron (and the flow of electrons generates an electric current).
In the phenomenon known as the Doppler Effect electrons are ejected when light shines on certain substances?
The Doppler Effect is the change in the frequency of the sound you hear when a car sounding its horn passes you.When the electrons at the surface of an object absorb incident light sufficient for them to escape the surface this is known as the photoelectric effect.
