As we learned 

         

 

 

  Photoelectric current -

The current constituted by photo electrons is known as photo electric current

-

 

 Since the number of photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation, the number of photoelectrons emitted becomes four times. The energy of photoelectrons does not change with the intensity of light.
