Explain why the saturation current is independent of the anode potential
Answers
Concept Introduction:-
The fee of going together with the flow of the electron in a conductor is the electric current.
Explanation:-
A question has been provided to us
We need to find the solution to the question
Saturation current is the same for incident radiations of different frequencies but of the same intensity it does not change with an increase in anode potential. Since the number of saturation electrons does not depends on frequency hence the saturation current does not depends on frequency. In the photoelectric effect, light incident on the surface of metal causes electrons to be ejected.
Final Answer:-
The correct answer is Saturation current is the same for incident radiations of different frequencies but of the same intensity it does not change with an increase in anode potential.
