MCQ
In a photo-diode, 
  • A
    Photocurrent is proportional to incident light intensity.
  • B
    Photocurrent is inversely proportional to incident light intensity.
  • C
    Photocurrent is independent of the incident light intensity.
  • D
    Incident light intensity is proportional to the photocurrent.

Answer

  1. Photocurrent is proportional to incident light intensity.

Explanation:

In a photodiode, photocurrent is directly proportional to intensiy of incident light. More the incident light intensity, more will be the current produced.

Assertion :  Newton’s rings are formed in the reflected system. When the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass, the central spot of the pattern is dark.

Reason     : The reflection is Newton’s ring cases will be from a denser to a rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.
