Reverse saturation current of a diode

A beam of light is travelling through a room full of smoke. The source of light is also located in the room. The intensity of light (I) and the distance (r) from the source are related as :

A long cylinder wire of radius R carries a unifrom current I flowing through it. The varaiaiton of magnetic field with distance 'r' from the axis of the wire is shown by .

When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance of 0.2 m from a photoelectric cell, the cut off voltage and the saturation current are respectively 0.6 V and 18 mA. If the same source is placed 0.6 m away from the photoelectric cell, then

The incorrect statement for saturation current in a photoelectric cell is

A source of light is placed at a distance x from a photocell and the cut off potential is V . If the distance of the same source from the photocell is doubled, then cut off potential will be :
