The fig. shows the variation of photon current with anode potential for a photo-sensitive surface for three different radiation. Let `I_(a), I_(b) and I_(c)` be the intensities and `f_(a), f_(b) and f_(c)` be the frequency for the curves a,b and c respectively.

A

`f_(a)=f_(b) and I_(a)neI_(b)`

B

`f_(a)=f_(c) and I_(a)=I_(c)`

C

`f_(a)=f_(b) and I_(a)=I_(b)`

D

`f_(b)=f_(c) and I_(b)=I_(c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

From graphs, we note that the stopping potential for curves a and b is same. Hence `f_(a)=f_(b)`. As saturation current is proportional to intensity of incident radiation. Therefore, `I_(a) lt I_(b)`. Hence, the option (a) is correct
