Photo Electric Effect
Question

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

Moderate
Solution

In electric field photoelectron will experience force and accelerate opposite to the field so its K.E. increases (i.e., stopping potential will increase), no change in photoelectric current, and threshold wavelength.
