Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs

A photo-cell is illuminated by a source of light, which is placed at a distance d from the cell. If the distance become d/2, then number of electrons emitted per second, will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. I∝1d2I \propto \frac{1}{d^2} and electrons emitted per second ∝I\propto I.
  2. d→d/2⇒I′=4Id \to d/2 \Rightarrow I' = 4I.
  3. So the answer is (b) four times.
