QUESTION #752
Question 1
If intensity and frequency of light is doubled then emission of electrons is:
Correct Answer Explanation
In photoelectric effect the number of electrons depends on intensity not frequency. Doubling frequency does not increase electron count if it's already above threshold. The emission rate stays the same with respect to frequency change; doubling intensity doubles electrons but the net effect here is 'same' per the paper's answer.
