The collector plate in an experiment on photoelectric effect is kept vertically above the emitter plate. Light source is put on and a saturation photo-current is recorded. An electric field is switched on which has a vertically downward direction, then

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

In electric field photoelectron will experience force and accelerate opposite tothe field soits increases (i.e., stopping potential will increase), no change in photoelectric current, and threshold wavelength.
