JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

In a photoelectric effect experiment a light of frequency \(1.5\) times the threshold frequency is made to fall on the surface of photosensitive material. Now if the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, the number of photo electrons emitted will be _______.

  1. A Doubled
  2. B Quadrupled
  3. C Zero
  4. D Halved
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(\frac{\mathrm{f}}{2}<\mathrm{f}_0\) i.e. the incident frequency is less than threshold frequency. Hence there will be no emission of photoelectrons. \(\Rightarrow\) current \(=0\)
