Light of frequency 1.5 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?
Options
- Afour times
- Bone-fourth
- Czero
- Ddoubled
Correct answer
C. zero
Step-by-step solution
K 1 = 1 . 5   h v 0 − ϕ 0 = 0 . 5   h v 0 K 2 = 1 . 5 h v 0 2 − h v 0 = − 0 . 25   h v 0 ∵ Kinetic energy can never be negative so, no emission and i = 0 OR In second case the incident frequency is halved Incident frequency = 1 . 5 2 v 0 = 0 . 75   v 0 Now the incident frequency is less than threshold frequency, so no emission of electron take place therefore no current. i = 0
