The figure shows a plot of photo current versus anode potential for a photo sensitive surface for three different radiations. Which one of the following is a correct statement?


- ACurves (a) and (b) represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities.
- BCurves (b) and (c) represent incident radiations of different frquencies and different intensities.
- CCurves (b) and (C) represent incident radiations of same frequency having same intensity.
- DCurves (a) and (b) represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities

Correct answer: A
Retarding potential depends on the frequency of incident radiation but is independent of intensity.
