In the photoelectric effect,the photocurrent:

  • A
    does not depend on the frequency of the photon but depends on the intensity of the incident light.
  • B
    decreases with an increase in the frequency of the incident photon.
  • C
    increases with an increase in the frequency of the incident photon.
  • D
    depends on the intensity of the incident radiation and its frequency.

$A$ photosensitive material is at $9\,m$ to the left of the origin and the source of light is at $7\,m$ to the right of the origin along the $x$-axis. The photosensitive material and the source of light start from rest and move,respectively,with $8\widehat{i}\,m/s$ and $4\widehat{i}\,m/s$. The ratio of intensities at $t = 0$ to $t = 3\,s$ as received by the photosensitive material is:
