Which of the following statement is correct regarding the photoelectric experiment?

• A. The photocurrent increases with intensity of light
• B. Stopping potential increases with increase in intensity of incident light.
• C. The Photocurrent increases with increases in frequency.
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The photocurrent increases with intensity of light

Answer 2

: The photocurrent increases linearly with intensity of the incident light, but is independent of its frequency. The stopping potential increases linearly with the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of its intensity
