Question 233: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

The anode voltage of a photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength $$\lambda $$ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current $${\rm I}$$ of the photocell varies as follows

Accepted Answer

As $$\lambda $$ decreases, $$v$$ increases and hence the speed of photo electron increases. The chances of photo electron to meet the anode increases and hence photo electric current increases.
