[QUOTE="pkc111, post: 6638842, member: 49498"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] I am confused about information regarding the effect of light frequency on photocurrent in the Lenard's apparatus. Pearson Physics 12 states: [B]"When the light sources have the same intensity but different frequencies, they produce the same maximum current"[/B] However, [URL='https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/cheerpj/photoelectric/latest/photoelectric.html?simulation=photoelectric']Phet Simulation Photoelectric Effect[/URL] seems to show that photocurrent changes with light frequency (eg see below for different photocurrents at 179 nm and 414 nm incident light wavelengths on sodium: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1654308153203.png"]302380[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1654308178294.png"]302381[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
