Question

In a photoelectric experiment, if both the intensity and frequency of the incident light are doubled, then the saturation photoelectric current (A) remains constant (B) is halved (C) is doubled (D) becomes four times

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The number of photoelectrons emitted, ie, photoeiectric current is independent of the frequency of the incident light and depends only upon its intensity.
Thus, the saturation photoeiectric current is doubled.
