Question
CBSEENPH12038504

Light of frequency 1.5 times the threshold frequency is incident on a photosensitive material. If the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, what happens to photoelectric current?

Solution
If the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, the frequency of incident light will become 152 = 0.75 times the threshold frequency. Hence, photoelectric current will be zero.
