Light of wavelength $\lambda_{\text{ph}}$ falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is $\phi$ and the anode is a wire mesh of conducting material kept at a distance $d$ from the cathode. $A$ potential difference $V$ is maintained between the electrodes. If the minimum de Broglie wavelength of the electrons passing through the anode is $\lambda_e$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
