In photoelectric effect, the saturation photocurrent

Question

In photoelectric effect, the saturation photocurrent (A) Depends both on intensity and frequency of the incident light (B) Increase with increase in frequency of incident light (C) Decreases with increase in frequency of incident light (D) Does not depend on the frequency of incident light but depends on the intensity of incident light

Photoelectric saturation current (i) propto intensity (I)

Q. In photoelectric effect, the saturation photocurrent

Depends both on intensity and frequency of the incident light

Increase with increase in frequency of incident light

Decreases with increase in frequency of incident light

Does not depend on the frequency of incident light but depends on the intensity of incident light

Photoelectric saturation current $(i) \propto$ intensity $(I)$

Q. In photoelectric effect, the saturation photocurrent

Depends both on intensity and frequency of the incident light

Increase with increase in frequency of incident light

Decreases with increase in frequency of incident light

Does not depend on the frequency of incident light but depends on the intensity of incident light

Photoelectric saturation current (i)∝ intensity (I)

Photoelectric saturation current $(i) \propto$ intensity $(I)$
