A photocell employs photoelectric effect to convert
- Achange in the frequency of light into a change in the electric current
- Bchange in the frequency of light into a change in electric voltage
- Cchange in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current
- Dchange in the intensity of illumination into a change in the work function of the photocathode.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
The photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of illumination. Therefore a change in the intensity of the incident radiation will change the photocurrent also.
