Options
- A(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
- B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Step-by-step solution
(A) Saturation photocurrent is directly proportional to the intensity of incident light (for a given frequency). Doubling the intensity doubles the saturation current. (A III) (B) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, eV₀ = h - . Increasing the frequency increases the stopping potential V₀ . (B IV) (C) For a point source, intensity I 1 r^2 . Doubling the distance r makes the intensity one-fourth, so the saturation photocurrent becomes one-fourth. (C II) (D) From eV₀ = h - , if the work function is higher
