The electrons are emitted in the photoelectric effect from a metal surface 

(1) Only if the frequency of the incident radiation is above a certain threshold value

(2) Only if the temperature of the surface is high

(3) At a rate that is independent of the nature of the metal

(4) With a maximum velocity proportional to the frequency of the incident radiation
