Light of wavelength ph falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is 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 e, which of the following statement(s) is (are) true? 

- Ae increases at the same rate as ph for ph < hc/
- Be is approximately halved, if d is doubled
- Ce decreases with increase in and ph
- DFor large potential difference (V >> /e), e is approximately halved if V is made four times
