From the following graph of photocurrent against collector plate potential, for two different intensities of light `I_1 and I_2` one can conclude.

A

`I_1 = I_2`

B

`I_1 gt I_2`

C

`I_1 lt I_2`

D

Comparison is not possible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The magnitude of the saturation photocurrent increases with the increase in the intensity of light.
Thus, `I_1 lt I_2`
