[2009]
(a) Curves (1) and (2) represent incident radiations of same frequency but of different intensities.
(b) Curves (2) and (3) represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities.
(c) Curves (2) and (3) represent incident radiations of same frequency having same intensity.
(d) Curves (1) and (2) represent incident radiations of different frequencies and different intensities.
