Draw a plot showing the variation of photoelectric current versus the intensity of incident radiation on a given photosensitive surface.

Radiation of wavelength 5000 oversetcircA and of intensity 2xx10^-3w cm^-2 falls on a photosensitive surface. Assuming that every absorbed photon results in the ejection of photoelectron, find how many photoelectrons are produced per cm^2 per sec.

The figure shows the stopping potential for the phototelectron versus (1/lambda) graph for two metals A and B, lambda being the wavelength of incident light If the distance between the light source and the surface of metal A is increased, how will the stopping potentail for the electrons emitted from it be affected? justify your answer.

The question given below consist of an assertion (A) and a reason ( R). Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), ( c) and (d) given below: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false and R is also false. Assertion: Kinetic energy of photo electrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon. Reason: The ejection of electrons from metallic surface is possible with frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Light of intensity 10^-5 Wm^-2 falls on a sodium photocell of surface area 2 cm^2 .
