In the shown expermiental setup to study photoelectric effect, two conducting electrodes are enclosed in an evacuated glass-tube as shown. A parallel beam of monochromatic light, falls on photosensitive electrodes. The emf of battery shwon is high enough such that all photoelectron ejected from left electrode will reach the right electrode. Under initial conditions photoelectrons are emitted. AS changes are made in each situation of column-I, Match the statements in column-I with results in column-II. {:(,"Column I",,"Column II"),((A),"If frequency of incident light is increased keeping its intensity constant",(p),"magnitude of stopping potential"),((B),"If frequency of incident light is increased and its intensity is decreased",(q),"current through circuit may stop"),((C),"If work function of photo sensitive electrode is increased",(r),"maximum kinetic energy of ejected photoelectrons will increase"),((D),"If intensity of incident light is increased keeping its frequency constant",(s),"saturation current will increase"):}

When the frequency of incident radiation is less than threshold frequency for a metal surface, what is value of stopping potential for that and why?

The frequency (v) of the incident radiation is greater than threshold frequency v_0 in photocell. How will the stopping potential very if frequency v is increased, keeping other factors constant.

If the intensity of the incident radiation in a photocell is increased, how does the stopping potential very?

Light of intensity I and frequency v is incident on a photossensitive surface and causes photoelectric emission. Justify with the help of graph, the effect on photoelectric current when the frequency of incident radiation is increased all other factors remain the same.

State how in a photo-cell, the work function of the metal influence the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons. (a) If the intensity of the incident radiation is doubled, what change occur in (i) the stopping potential and (ii) in photoelectric current? (b) If the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled, what changes occur in the (i) stopping potential and (ii) photoelectric current.
