In the photoelectric effect,the photocurrent:

  • A
    Increases with increasing frequency of incident photon.
  • B
    Decreases with increasing frequency of incident photon.
  • C
    Does not depend on the frequency of the photon.
  • D
    Depends both on the intensity and frequency of the incident photon.

What is electromagnetic radiation? How is it produced?

Which of the following statements is correct about the photoelectric effect?
$1$. The number of electrons ejected from a metal surface is inversely proportional to the intensity of light.
$2$. Below the threshold frequency,the photoelectric effect can be observed.
