Question:medium

While studying photoelectric emission from a given surface, the wavelength of the incident radiation is changed from \(600\,\text{nm}\) to \(400\,\text{nm}\), keeping the intensity of radiation the same. Then :

Show Hint

In photoelectric effect: \[ K_{\max}=h\nu-\phi \] and \[ eV_0=K_{\max}. \] Higher frequency (or lower wavelength) means higher stopping potential. Saturation current depends mainly on intensity.
  • cut-off potential will decrease.
  • cut-off potential will increase.
  • saturation current will decrease.
  • saturation current will increase.
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B
