When a monochromatic point source of light is placed at $0.1\, m$ from a photocell,the cut-off voltage and saturation current are $0.8\, V$ and $24\, mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed at $0.2\, m$ away from the photocell,then the cut-off voltage and saturation current will be:

  • A
    $0.4\, V$ and $12\, mA$
  • B
    $0.8\, V$ and $12\, mA$
  • C
    $0.8\, V$ and $6\, mA$
  • D
    $0.16\, V$ and $12\, mA$
