The figure (1) shows the variation of photo current with anode potential for a photo-sensitive surface for three different radiations. Let be the intensities and be the frequencies for the curves a.b and c respectively
It is obvious from the figure (1) that tho stopping potential for curve (a) and (b) is the same. Therefore This is because, the stopping potential V0 is frequency dependent . Here W0 is the work function of the metal. We also know that saturation current is proportional to intensity of the incident radiation. So
