How does the stopping potential applied to a photocell change, if the distance between the light source and the cathode of the cell is doubled? 

Answer

When the distance between the light source and the cathode is changed, the intensity of light changes accordingly. However, the stopping potential does not depend upon the intensity of incident light.
