In the photoelectric effect, suppose that the intensity of the light is increased, while the frequency is kept constant. The frequency is greater than the minimum frequency `f_(0)`. State whether each of the following will increases, decrease, or remain constant, and explain your choice. (a) the current in the phototube, (b) the number of electrons per second from the metal surface, c) the maximum kinetic energy that an electron could have, d) the maximum momentum that an electron could have, and e) the maximum de-Broglie wavelength that an electron could have.
