The figure shows the variation in photoelectric current \((i)\) with voltage \((V)\) between the electrodes in a photocell for two different radiations. If \(I_a\) and \(I_b\) are the intensities of the incident radiation and \(\nu_a\) and \(\nu_b\) their respective frequencies, then:

1. \(I_a>I_b,~ \nu_b<\nu_a\) 2. \(I_a<I_b, ~\nu_b>\nu_a\)
3. \(I_a>I_b,~ \nu_b=\nu_a\) 4. \(I_a<I_b, ~\nu_b<\nu_a\)

The stopping potential for photoelectrons:

1. does not depend on the frequency of the incident light.
2. does not depend upon the nature of the cathode material.
3. depends on both the frequency of the incident light and the nature of the cathode material.
4. depends upon the intensity of the incident light.
