The graphs, drawn here, are for the phenomenon of photoelectric effect. (i) Identify which of the two characteristics (intensity/frequency) of incident light, is being kept constant in each case. (ii) Name the quantity, corresponding to the in eact case. (iii) Justify the existence of a threshold for a given photosenitive surface.

Answer» (i) Intensity is constant in graph I.
Frequency current in graph II.
(ii) Saturation current and stopping potential.
(iii) `VltV^(0)` i.e., frequency of incident radiation is less than the threshold frequency the K.E. of photoetectrons becomes negative which has no physical meaning. So, there is a minimum frequency that is called threshold frequency at which photoelectric effect occure.
