Light of incident frequency 3 times the threshold frequency is incident on a photosensitive material. If the incident frequency is made \(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) and intensity is tripled then the photoelectric current will

  1. A increase
  2. B decrease
  3. C be \(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\text {rd }}\)
  4. D be zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) be zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f_{initial} = 3f_0\) \(f_{new} = \frac{1}{4} f_{initial} = \frac{1}{4} (3f_0) = \frac{3}{4} f_0\)
