Question
The figure shows a plot of photocurrent versus anode potential for a photo sensitive surface for three different radiations. Which one of the following is a correct statement ?
A.
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities
B.
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities
C.
Curves $$b$$ and $$c$$ represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities
D.
Curves $$b$$ and $$c$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency having same intensity
Answer :
Curves $$a$$ and $$b$$ represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities
Solution :

Since in the graph retarding potential is same in graph (a) and (b) and photo current is different so, for curves they have same frequency but different intensity of light.
