Light of frequency two times the threshold frequency is incident on photosensitive material. If the incident frequency is made ( 1 3 )^ rd and intensity is doubled, then the photoelectric current will
Options
- Aincrease
- Bdecrease
- Cbe zero
- Dbe halved
Correct answer
C. be zero
Step-by-step solution
Initial frequency v=2 v₀ Final frequency v^ = 2 v₀ 3 v^ is less than the threshold frequency v₀ Hence no photoelectrons will be emitted, and photoelectric current will be zero.
