Detailed Solution

Photoelectric current in the circuit can be reduced to zero when the polarity of the terminal is reversed and The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectric increases as KEmax=hν - ϕ.

If n be the number of photons passing through unit cross sectional area of the incident light beam , then n = Ihν.When frequency is increased , n decreases .
