Figure shows the anode potential 
photocurrent graph when photons of 6 eV are incident on cathode in a photoelectric experiment set-up. In the same experimental set-up, if photons of 8 eV and same intensity are incident on cathode, then anode-potential vs photo-current graph will be (assume 
efficiency of photons to eject photo-electrons in both cases)
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Magnitude of stopping potential will increase but the maximum current will remain same as the intensity doesn't change.
