An experimenter shines different colors of light on a metal surface and measures the number of electrons emitted from the metal and the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons. What will the experimenter observe when using green light with a wavelength of 550 nm versus blue light with a wavelength of 450 nm? Assuming the same total intensity of the light for both colors. The blue light results in more emitted electrons with a higher maximum kinetic energy relative to the green light. The blue light results in more emitted electrons with a lower maximum kinetic energy relative to the green light. The blue light results in fewer emitted electrons with a higher maximum kinetic energy relative to the green light. The blue light results in fewer emitted electrons with a lower maximum kinetic energy relative to the green light. Neither the number of electrons or the kinetic energy is affected by the wavelength of the light.
