When ultraviolet light is incident on a ...

When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is `V_(0)` and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is `K_(max)`. When X-rays are incident on the same cell, then:

A

`V_0 and K_(max)` both increase.

B

`V_0 and K_(max)` both decrease.

C

`V_0` increases but `K_(max)` remains the same.

D

`K_(max) ` increases by `V_0` remains the same.
