Question:
In a pn junction photocell, the value of photoelectromotive force produced by monochromatic light is proportional to which of the following?
Options:
the barrier voltage at pn junction
the intensity of the light falling on the cell
the frequency of the light falling on the cell
the voltage applied at the pn junction.
Correct Answer:
the intensity of the light falling on the cell
Explanation:
The theory of photocell states that the photoelectromotive force produced by monochromatic light is proportional to the intensity of the light falling on the cell.
