The frequency and intensity of a light source are both doubled. Consider the following statements
A. The saturation photocurrent remains almost the same
B. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is double

Options

A. Both (i) and (ii) are true
B. (i) is true but (ii) is false
C. (i) is flase but (ii) is true
D. both (i) and (ii) are false

Answer

B

Explanation

Since frequency of light solurce is double, the energy carried by each photon will be doubled. Hence intensity will be doubled even if number of photons remains constant. Hence saturation current is constant. Since frequency is doubled, maximum `KE` increases but it is not doubled.
