उत्तर
We use radiations with varying frequencies but the same intensity. When the frequency increases, the photoelectric current increases, and when the frequency decreases, the photoelectric current decreases. However, beyond a particular anode potential, the photoelectric current remains constant for all radiations of different frequencies. This is referred to as saturation current. As a result, the saturation current is unaffected by radiation frequency.
