The graph between the intensity of light $(I)$ falling on a metallic plate and the generated photoelectric current $(i)$ is:

$A$ source of variable potential difference is connected across a photoelectric cell, and the photoelectric current is plotted against the applied potential difference. The graph with the broken line represents the initial curve of current versus applied potential difference. If the frequency of the incident light is increased and its intensity is reduced, which curve now represents the situation?

If the intensity of incident light on a metal surface is decreased,then . . . . . .

The figure shows the variation of photocurrent with anode potential for a photo-sensitive surface for three different radiations. Let ${I_a}, {I_b}$ and ${I_c}$ be the intensities and ${f_a}, {f_b}$ and ${f_c}$ be the frequencies for the curves $a, b$ and $c$ respectively.
