Light of wavelength 
falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is 
and the anode is a wire mesh of conducting material kept at a distance d from the cathode. A potential difference V is maintained between the electrodes. If the minimum de Broglie wavelength of the electrons passing through the anode is 
, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?
is approximately halved if V is made four times
increases at the same rate as 
for 
is approximately halved, if d is doubled
decreases with increase in
