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.
