Assertion: The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.
Reason: The work function of the metal is its characteristic property.

Assertion : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon.
Reason : The ejection of electrons from a metallic surface is possible with a frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Light of frequency $1.5 \nu_0$ (where $\nu_0$ is the threshold frequency) is incident on a photosensitive material. If the frequency is halved and the intensity is doubled,what happens to the photocurrent?
