The graph is showing the photocurrent with the applied voltage of a photoelectric effect experiment. Then
.

A

A & B will have same intensity and B & C have same frequency

B

B & C have same intensity and a & B have same frequency

C

A & B will have same frequency and B & C have same intensity

D

A & C will have same intensity and B & C have same frequency

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Saturation current is proportional to intensity while stopping potential increases with increases in frequency. Hence A & B same intensity B & C same frequency. Therefore, the corect option is (a)

  • In photoelectric effect

    A
    photons come out of a metal when it is hit by a beam of electrons
    B
    photons come out of the nucleus of an atom under the action of an electric field
    C
    electrons come out of a metal with a constant velocity which depends on the frequency and intensity of incident radiation
    D
    electrons come out of a metal with different velocities nor greater than a certain value which depends only on the frequency of the incident light and not on its intensity
