A photocell employs photoelectric effect to convert

1. change in the frequency of light into a change in the electric current
2. change in the frequency of light into a change in electric voltage
3. change in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current
4. change in the intensity of illumination into a change in the work function of the photocathode.
