Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of how the photoelectric current changes on decreasing the wavelength of incident radiation for a given photo-sensitive material, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect occurs when light (or radiation) strikes a photosensitive material and causes the emission of electrons. The emitted electrons contribute to the photoelectric current. ### Step 2: Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency The wavelength (λ) of the incident radiation is inversely related to its frequency (ν) through the equation: \[ c = \lambda \cdot \nu \] ...
