Monochromatic light with a frequency well above the cutoff frequency is incident on the emitter in a photoelectric effect apparatus. The frequency of the light is then doubled while the intensity is kept constant. How does this affect the photoelectric current?

  • A

    The photoelectric current will increase.

  • B

    The photoelectric current will decrease.

  • C

    The photoelectric current will remain the same.

  • D

    None of these
