In a photoelectric experiment, the frequency and intensity of a light source are both doubled. Then consider the following statements.
(i) The saturation photocurrent remains almost the same.
(ii) The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is doubled.

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is False

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The number of photons incident per unit time remains same hence saturation photo current remains same. If frequency is doubled then kinetic energy of photo electrons is more than doubled.
