Important Questions on photoelectric effect
In the photoelectric experiment apparatus containing the collector and the emitter plate, a saturated photoelectron current is observed. If an external electric field is applied in the direction opposite to the motion of the photoelectrons, what is the change observed in each of the following? Give reasons.
i. The saturation value of the photocurrent,
ii. The kinetic energy of the photoelectrons striking the collector plate

Give reason for the following observation-
