A beam of light falls on a metal surface such that photo-electrons are generated. If power of the light source starts to decrease linearly with time t, then variation of the photocurrent I and magnitude of the stopping potential |V| with time is best represented by:

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(2) [figure]

Solution

Photocurrent is directly proportional to the intensity (and hence the power) of the incident light. Since power decreases linearly with time t, the photocurrent I also decreases linearly with time t.

The stopping potential depends only on the frequency of incident radiation and the work function of the metal: e|V0| = h - . It is independent of the power or intensity of light.

Therefore, the magnitude of the stopping potential |V| remains constant with time.

This behavior is correctly depicted in option (2).

A ray of light with wavelength is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely 1, 2 and 3. The threshold wavelength of these photoelectric cells are 1, 2, and 3, respectively and the magnitude of stopping potentials of these cells are V1, V2 and V3, respectively. The relation between and threshold wavelengths are 1 < , 2 > and 3 . The correct option is:

  1. V1 < V2, V3 = 0
  2. V1 = 0, V2 < V3
