Light of frequency times the threshold frequency is incident on a photosensitive material. What will be the photoelectric current if the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled?
- Adoubled
- Bfour times
- Cone-fourth
- Dzero
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let threshold frequency be . Incident frequency .If the frequency is halved, the new frequency .Since , the incident frequency is now less than the threshold frequency. Therefore, no photoelectrons will be emitted, and the photoelectric current will be zero, regardless of the intensity.
