Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

-(III); -(I, II); -(I, II), -(IV)
If intensity changes, then number of photons/time incident on the metal surf ace change and hence number of photoelectrons liberated change, so saturation photocurrent changes. Stopping potential and will remain the same.

From and

If changes, then and change.
From and .

If target material changes, then changes, then and change.
If we change the potential difference between emitter and collector, then time taken for electrons to eject changes.
