Wave Optics

Question

The anode voltage of a photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength λ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current I of the photocell varies as follows:

Answer

D.

As λ is increased, there will be a value of λ above which photoelectrons will cease to come out. So, photocurrent will be zero.
