Question:
The anode voltage of photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength $\lambda$ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current I of the photocell varies as follows :
Correct Option: , 4
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
