Question
The anode voltage of photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength λ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current I of the photocell varies as follows :
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
For constant intensity as wavelength decreases energy of photons increases and number of photons decreases. So it may seem that current should decrease. But the probability that a photon will be successful in emitting an electron will also increase. So as wavelength decreases current increases.
