if the intensity of light is made `4I_0`, then the saturation current will become

A

`0.40xx1muA`

B

`0.40xx2muA`

C

`0.40xx4muA`

D

`0.40xx8muA`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When intensity is increased from `I_0` to `4I_0`, i.e., four times, the the saturation current increases by a factor of 4, i.e., the saturation current becomes
`=4xx(0.40xx10^(-6))A`
