When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance of 0.2 m from a photoelectric cell, the cut off voltage and saturation current are respectively 0.6 volt and 18.0 mA. If the same is placed 0.6 m away from the photoelectric cell, then.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

Stopping potential depends only on photon frequency, so it stays 0.6 V (B)

 

Saturation current ∝ intensity ∝ , so it falls to 2.0 mA (D)
