$A$ source of variable potential difference is connected across a photoelectric cell, and the photoelectric current is plotted against the applied potential difference. The graph with the broken line represents the initial curve of current versus applied potential difference. If the frequency of the incident light is increased and its intensity is reduced, which curve now represents the situation?

    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • C
    $C$
  • D

If the intensity of incident light is increased in $PEE$,then which of the following is true?

From the photoelectric effect experiment,select the correct statement.

Assertion : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon.
Reason : The ejection of electrons from a metallic surface is possible with a frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A :$ In photoelectric effect,on increasing the intensity of incident light,the stopping potential increases.
Reason $R :$ Increase in intensity of light increases the rate of photoelectrons emitted,provided the frequency of incident light is greater than threshold frequency.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$10^{-3} \, W$ of $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ light is directed on a photoelectric cell. If the current in the cell is $0.16 \, \mu A$,the percentage of incident photons which produce photoelectrons is .......$\%$
