When light of suitable frequency is incident on a photosensitive material, photo electrons are ejected and photoelectric current flows. If the intensity of the incident light is increased, then

  1. A The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons will increase
  2. B The stopping potential will increase
  3. C The stopping potential will decrease
  4. D The saturation current will increase
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) The saturation current will increase

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The saturation current will increase In the photoelectric effect, the intensity of incident light is a measure of the number of photons striking the material's surface per unit time. Each incident photon, provided its frequency is above the threshold frequency, can eject one…
