Question

When a point source of light is at a distance of 50 cm from a photoelectric cell, the cut-off voltage is found to be V0. If the same source is placed at a distance of 1 m from the cell, the cut-off voltage will be 

Solution

Correct option is

When the distance of the source from the cell is increased, the intensity of light falling on the cell decrease; but the cut-off voltage of the cell is independent of the intensity of the incident radiations.
