Q5 of 69 Page 364

The photocurrent in an experiment on photoelectric effect increases if

increase in intensity increases the no of photons falling per unit area per unit time is also increased. ∴ the no of photoelectron emitted is also increased which increases the photocurrent.


The exposure time does not affect the no of photons emitted or the energy of photon.
