Light of frequency two times the threshold frequency is incident on photosensitive material. If the incident frequency is made \(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\mathrm{rd}}\) and intensity is doubled, then the photoelectric current will

  1. A increase
  2. B decrease
  3. C be zero
  4. D be halved
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) be zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial frequency \(v=2 v_0\)
Final frequency \(v^{\prime}=\frac{2 v_0}{3}\)
\(v^{\prime}\) is less than the threshold frequency \(v_0\)
Hence no photoelectrons will be emitted, and photoelectric current will be zero.
