The figure shows a plot of photocurrent versus anode potential for a photo sensitive surface for three different radiations. Which one of the following is a correct statement?

A

Curves (a) and (b) represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities

B

Curves (a) and (b) represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities

C

Curves (b) and (c) represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities

D

Curves (b) and (c) represent incident radiations of same frequency having same intensity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Since, `V_0` is same for a and b, hence, their frequencies are same.
but current is different, hence intensities is different.
