Multiple Choice
Monochromatic light is incident on a metal surface, and the ejected electrons give rise to a current in the circuit shown in the figure. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons is determined by applying a reverse ('stopping') potential, sufficient to reduce the current in the ammeter to zero. If the intensity of the incident light is increased, how will the required stopping potential change?
A) It will remain unchanged.
B) It will increase.
C) It will decrease.
