A number of identical absorbing plates are arranged in between a source of light and a photo cell. When there is no plate in between, the photo current is maximum. Under the circumstances let us focus on the two statements.
(1) The photo current decreases with the increase in number of absorbing plates.
(2) The stopping potential increases with the increase in number of absorbing plates.

A

Statements (1) and (2) are both true and (1) is the cause of (2).

B

Statements (1) and (2) are both true but (1) and (2) are independent.

C

Statement (1) is true while (2) is not true and (1) and (2) are independent.

D

Statement (1) is true while (2) is not true and (2) is the effect of (1).
