An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a circuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell. Which of the following would be the best hypothesis for this experiment?

Photoelectric cells are affected by different wavelengths of light.
Red light will activate the photocell to the highest degree.
If photoelectric cells respond better to short wavelengths of light, the red light should activate it the least and blue the most.
