The frequency and the intensity of a beam of light falling on the surface of a photoelectric material are increased by a factor of two. This will

A

increase both,the maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons, as well as photoelectric saturation current by a factor of two.

B

increase the maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electrons by a factor greater than two and would increase the photoelectric saturation current by a factor of two

C

increase the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons by a factor greater than two and will have no effect on the magnitude of the photoelectric saturation current produced.

D

increase the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons by a factor of two but will have no effect. on the saturation photoelectric current.
