1. The current I is proportional to light energy failing
on the lens per second which is same in the two
cases. Hence same I .
2. When the source is 3 times farther, number of

photons failing on the surface becomes 9 th but the
frequency remains same. Hence stopping potential
will be same i.e. 0.6 V and saturation current

become 9 # 18 mA = 2mA
3. Since frequency of light solurce is double, the
energy carried by each photon will be doubled.
Hence intensity will be doubled even if number of
photons remains constant. Hence saturation current
is constant. Since frequency is doubled, maximum
KE increases but it is not doubled.
