Photoelectric effect and study of photoelectric effect
Question

Given that a photon of light of wavelength 10,000  has an energy equal to 1.23 eV. When light of wavelength 5000  and intensity Io falls on a photoelectric cell,
the saturation current is 0.40 x 10-6 A and the stopping potential is 1.36 V; if the intensity of light is made 4I0, then the saturation current will become

Easy
Solution

When intensity is increased from I0 to 4I0, i.e., four times, then the saturation current increases by a factor of 4, i.e., the saturation current becomes

=4×0.40×106A
