1. No electrons until threshold (any intensity)
Wein's 2. As frequency increase, and Kinetic Energy
displacement increases (any intensity)

Particles which obey Fermi model
Dirac statistics - Fermions 1. Free electron model
2. Applies quantum mechanical principles on the
Particle Wave duality
Drude model
3. Applies the Pauli's exclusion principle
4. Potential is constant within the metal
5. Electrons are identical and indistinguishable
6. Behavior subject to Fermi-Dirac statistics
