Emitted electrons have kinetic energy between 0
and KEmax
Space between cathode and anode contains a
number of electrons making up space charge
This negative space charge repels the fresh
electrons coming from the cathode.
Electrons with the less kinetic energy is not able
to reach at collector.
Only electrons with the more kinetic energy is
able to reach at collector and produces photo
current.
Case#2 collector is at positive polarity w.r.t
to emitter

Electrons are attracted towards collector.
More electrons are able to reach at collector and
photo current increases.
If the potential of collector increases gradually a
situation arrives when all the emitted electrons
are able to reach collector.
Photocurrent becomes constant called saturation
current.
Case#3 collector is at negative polarity
w.r.t to emitter

Electrons are repelled by collector.
Kinetic energy of electrons decreases as they
travel towards collector.
Less no of electrons are able to reach collector
and photo current decreases as potential
increases.
Minimum potential difference at which
photocurrent becomes zero is called stopping
potential.
At stopping potential electron with the maximum
kinetic energy returns at collector.

Wave length of incident radiation is 2000Ao and
threshold wavelength is 4000Ao. Find stopping
potential
Stopping potential is 2volt and energy of incident
photon is 3eV. Find threshold wavelength
A metal surface is illuminated by two different
wave lenghts 248nm and 310nm. If the ratio of
stopping potential is 2:1 for these wavelengths
respectively. Find work function.
A point source is placed at distance 1m from the
photoelectric cell. Saturation current and stopping
potential are 9mA and 10V. If the same source is
placed at distance 3m then saturation current and
stopping potential are:
(A) 9mA and 10V (B) 1mA and 10/9V

(C) 1mA and 10V (D) 1mA and 10/3V

 The anode voltage of a photo cell is kept fixed. The
wavelength λ of the light falling on the cathode is
gradually changed. The photo current of the
photocell varies as
