Answer:

Experiments showed that increasing the light frequency increased the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, and increasing the light amplitude increased the current.

Step-by-step explanation:

The photocurrent increases linearly with the intensity of the incident light but is independent of its frequency. The stopping potential increases linearly with the frequency of the incident light but is independent of its intensity.
