To solve the question regarding the behavior of photoelectric current versus anode potential under different conditions, we can break it down into three parts as follows: ### (i) Variation of Saturation Current with Anode Potential for Different Frequencies but Same Intensity **Step 1: Understand Saturation Current** - The saturation current (I_s) is the maximum current that can be achieved in the photoelectric effect when all emitted photoelectrons reach the anode. **Step 2: Consider the Effect of Anode Potential** ...
