उत्तर
d
As the relation between intensity (I) of light and distance (r) is `I ∝ 1/r^2`
As the distance between the source and the metal is increased, it will result in decrease in the intensity of light. As the saturation current is directly proportional to the intensity of light (i ∝ I) , it can be concluded that current varies as `I ∝ 1/r^2` . Thus, curve d is correct
