JEE Main 2024Dual Nature of Matter Question with Solution

JEE Main 2024 (31 Jan Shift 2)

Question

In a photoelectric effect experiment a light of frequency 1.5 times the threshold frequency is made to fall on the surface of photosensitive material. Now if the frequency is halved and intensity is doubled, the number of photo electrons emitted will be:

Correct answer
CZero

Step-by-step explanation

Given, fi=f0. Now, f=fi2=f02.

Since f02<f0 i.e. the incident frequency is less than threshold frequency. Hence, there will be no emission of photoelectrons.

Therefore, current =0 and no photo electrons will be emitted.
