# The anode voltage of a photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength $\dpi{100} \lambda$ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current $\dpi{100} I$ of the photocell varies as follows Option 1) Option 2) Option 3) Option 4)

As we learnt in

Saturation Current -

When all the photoelectrons reach the plate A, current becomes maximum known as saturation current.

- wherein

Plate -A - Anode

Plate -C - Cathode

As we change wavelength, the energy of incident photon changes. with increasing value of $\lambda$, the number of ejected electrons decreases and after a cut off value current becomes zero.

Hence correct graph is 3

Option 1)

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

This is the correct option.

Option 4)

This is an incorrect option.
