  1. Sketch the following graphs for the quantities involved in the photoelectric effect. (Be prepared to explain your sketches.)
    1. kinetic energy (max) vs. intensity at constant frequency (assuming f is greater than the threshold frequency)
    2. kinetic energy (max) vs. wavelength at constant intensity
    3. photoelectric current vs. intensity at constant frequency (assuming f is greater than the threshold frequency)
    4. photoelectric current vs. wavelength at constant intensity
