Question:

In a p-n junction photo cell, the value of the photo-electromotive force produced by monochromatic light is proportional to

Options:

the voltage applied at the p-n junction

the barrier voltage at the p-n junction

the intensity of the light falling on the cell

the frequency of the light falling on the cell

Correct Answer:

the intensity of the light falling on the cell

Explanation:

Electromotive force depends upon intensity of light falling, it does not depend on frequency of barrier voltage.
