Photocurrent refers to the flow of electrical current that is generated when light (photons) strikes a photosensitive material such as a semiconductor or a photodiode.
The photocurrent is directly proportional to the frequency of the incident light. This means that as the frequency of light increases, so does the amount of current generated.
The intensity of light does not directly affect the photocurrent. However, as the intensity increases, more photons are hitting the photosensitive material, which can lead to an increase in photocurrent.
Yes, the frequency of incident light can be changed by using different light sources or by altering the wavelength of the light. This will in turn affect the amount of photocurrent generated.
The photocurrent of a photosensitive material can be affected by various factors such as the intensity and frequency of the incident light, the type and quality of the photosensitive material, and external factors such as temperature and voltage applied to the material.
