In photoelectric effect,we assume the photon energy is proportional to its frequency and is completely absorbed by the electrons in the metal. Then the photoelectric current (u > νth)

(A) Decreases when the frequency of the in cident photon increases.

(B) Increases when the frequency of the incident photon increases.

(C) Does not depend on the photon frequency but only on the intensity of the incident beam.

(D) Depends both on the intensity and frequency of the incident beam.
