Detailed Solution

Saturation current is the maximum current possible and it will be directly proportional to the number of electrons falling on collector plate per second which depends on number of photons incident on the cathode as one photon contribute in one electron and the number of photons is actually proportional to intensity which varies as : Intensity I∝1r2 ​ , Where r is the distance between source and metal plate.
