CBSE Class 12-science Answered

In a plot of photoelectric current versus anode potential, how does (i) the saturation current vary with anode potential for incident radiations of different frequencies but same intensity? (ii) the stopping potential vary for incident radiations of different intensities but same frequency? (iii) Photoelectric current vary for different intensities but same frequency of incident radiations? Justify your answer in each case.

(i) Saturation current is same for incident radiations of different frequencies but of same intensity. It does not change with increase in anode potential.

(ii) Stopping potential is same for incident radiation of different intensities but same frequency. This is because stopping potential depends on frequency and not on the intensity of incident radiation.

(iii) Photoelectric current increases linearly with the intensity of incident radiation of same frequency.
