Which of the following combinations about the photoelectric effect is correct?

A

The photocurrent increases with intensity, and the threshold frequency is unique to each material.

B

The photocurrent does not depend on the intensity of light, and stopping potential varies with intensity.

C

Electrons are emitted regardless of light frequency, and only ultraviolet light can cause photoemission.

D

The intensity has no effect on the number of emitted electrons, and stopping potential is independent of emitter material.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The photocurrent is directly proportional to the intensity of light, and the threshold frequency varies for different materials, as mentioned in the provided context.
