Light of frequency 1.51.5 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

  1. Afour times
  2. Bone-fourth
  3. Czero
  4. Ddoubled

Correct answer

C. zero

Step-by-step solution

K1=1.5hv0−ϕ0=0.5hv0{K}_{1} = 1 . 5h{v}_{0} - {ϕ}_{0} = 0 . 5h{v}_{0}

K2=1.5hv02−hv0=−0.25hv0{K}_{2} = 1 . 5h\dfrac{{v}_{0}}{2} - h{v}_{0} = - 0 . 25h{v}_{0}

∵∵ Kinetic energy can never be negative so, no emission and i=0i = 0

OR

In second case the incident frequency is halved
Incident frequency =1.52v0=0.75v0= \dfrac{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)\left(i = 0\right)
