The variation of photo-current with collector potential for different frequencies of incident
radiation \( v_{1}, v_{2} \) and \( v_{3} \) is as shown in the graph, then

  1. A \( v_{1}=v_{2}=v_{3} \)
  2. B \( v_{1}>v_{2}>v_{3} \)
  3. C \( v_{1} < v_{2} < v_{3} \)
  4. D \( v_{3}=\frac{v_{1}+v_{2}}{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( v_{1} < v_{2} < v_{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The stopping potential is directly proportional to the frequency of incident radiation and photoelectric current is
independent of the frequency of incident radiation. Therefore, \( f_{1} < f_{2} < f_{3} \)
