KCET2019PhysicsDual Nature of Matter
Light of certain frequency and intensity incident on a photosensitive material causes photoelectric effect. If both the frequency and intensity are doubled, the photoelectric saturation current becomes
Options
- Ahalved
- Bquadrupled
- Cunchanged
- Ddoubled
Correct answer
D. doubled
Step-by-step solution
(D) We know photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of incident light provided incidentfrequency is greater than threshold frequency. ( ) When intensity is doubled, photoelectric saturation current doubles.
