Question

Light of frequency 1.5 times the threshold frequency is incident on photosensitive material. If the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, the photo current becomes
  1. quadrupled
  2. doubled
  3. halved
  4. zero

A
quadrupled
B
halved
C
zero
D
doubled
Solution
Verified by Toppr

When the frequency of incident light is halved of its original value i.e. 1.5v0 then it becomes less than the threshold value. In that case no photoelectric effect takes place. No photoelectrons would be emitted. The photoelectric current becomes zero.
