In photoelectric effect, the photo current

Question

In photoelectric effect, the photo current (A) increases with increase of frequency of incident photon (B) decreases with increase of frequency of incident photon (C) does not depend on the frequency of photon but depends only on intensity of incident light (D) depends both on intensity and frequency of incident beam

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When intensity of incident photon increases number of electrons emitted from the surface increases. Thus current increases. It is independent of frequency of photon.

decreases with increase of frequency of incident photon

does not depend on the frequency of photon but depends only on intensity of incident light

depends both on intensity and frequency of incident beam
