In an experiment on photoelectric effect light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on a metal plate at rate of 5W. The potential of the collector plate is made sufficiently positive with respect to emitter so that the current reaches the saturation value. Assuming that on the average one out of every 10^6 photons is able to eject a photoelectron, find the photocurrent in the circuit.

In a photoelectric effect experiment, photons of energy 5 eV are incident on the photocathode of work function 3eV . For photon intensity I_(A)=10^(15)m^(-2)s^(-1) , saturation current of 4.0 mu A is obtained. Sketch the variation of photocurrent i_(p) against the anode voltage V_(a) in the figure below for photon intensity I_(A) ( curve A ) and I_(B)=2xx10^(15)m^(-2)s^(-1) (curve B ) ( in JEE graph was to be drawn in the answer sheet itself.)

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

In a photoelectric experiment, if stopping potential is applied, then photocurrent becomes zero. This means that:
