Detailed Solution

If intensity is doubled, number of photons striking the target metal surface is also doubled and hence saturation photo current is also doubled.

Energy of individual photon of violet light is more than that of orange coloured light. As a result maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons increases kmax=hv-ϕ and hence, stopping potential increases.
