The following graph represents the variation of photocurrent with anode potential for a metal surface. Here and represents intensities and represent frequency for curves 1,2 and 3 respectively, then

Options
- A and
- B and
- C and
- D and
Correct answer
A. and
Step-by-step solution
The given figure can be shown as

From figure, we can see that the stopping potential is same for curve 1 and 2. But for curve 3 , it is greater than that for land 2 . As, we know that, where, is the work function. Since, is same for 1 and 2, so from above equation, we have Thus, for 1,2 and 3 Also, the saturation current of curve 2 is greater than of curve 1 . But for curve 2 and 3 it is equal, so,
