A
Electrons are emitted with more speed when brighter light strikes them.
B
Electrons need small amounts of energy to be released from an atom.
C
Electrons move between levels only if they are hit by the right frequency of light.
D
Electrons need specific amounts of energy to jump levels and be emitted.
