Vedclass · Answer

(B) The saturation photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.This is because the intensity of light is defined as the number of photons incident per unit area per unit time.Since each photon ejects one electron (in the photoelectric effect),increasing the intensity increases the number of photoelectrons emitted per second,thereby increasing the saturation current.It is independent of the frequency of light (above the threshold frequency),the work function of the material,and the stopping potential.
