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

A

increase the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons as well as photoelectric current by a factor of two

B

increase the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons and would increase the photoelectric current by a factor of two

C

increase the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons by a factor of two and will have no effect on photoelectric current

D

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