RE-NEET 2026 Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A beam of light falls on a metal surface such that photo-electrons are generated. If power of the light source starts to decrease linearly with time t, then variation of the photocurrent I and magnitude of the stopping potential |V| with time is best represented by :

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

As the power of the light source decreases, the number of photo-electrons emitted decreases, reducing the photocurrent I. The stopping potential |V| remains constant as it depends on the frequency of light, not intensity.
