If the intensity of incident radiation in a photo-cell is increased, how does the stopping potential vary?(a) Increases(b) Remains the same(c) Decreases(d) InfiniteI have been asked this question in an international level competition.My question is taken from Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation : Energy Quantum of Radiation in chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) Remains the same

To EXPLAIN I WOULD say: There is no effect on stopping potential. The INTENSITY of incident radiation is INDEPENDENT of stopping potential. Therefore, even if the incident radiation in a photo-cell is increased, the stopping potential remains unchanged.
