In photoelectric experiment set up, the maximum kinetic energy (k_("max")) of emitted photoelectrons was measured for different wavelength (lambda) of light used. The graph of k_("max") vs 1/(lambda) ​ was obtained as shown in first figure. In the same setup, keeping the wavelength of incident light fixed at l, the applied potential difference was varied and the photoelectric current was recorded. The result has been shown in graph in second figure. (a) Find lambda is Å (b) Taking the photo efficiency to be 2% (i.e. percentage of incident photons which produce photoelectrons) find the power of light incident on the emitter plate in the experiment. [Take hc = 12400 eV Å ]

How will photoelectric current through a photoelectric cell change on increasing the intensity of the light incident on the cell ?

A : On increasing the intensity of light , the number of photoelectrons emitted is more . Also the kinetic energy of each photo increases but the photoelectric current is constant R : Photoelectric current is independent of intensity but increases with increasing frequency incident radiation
