Solution

The correct answer is "B only".

Explanation:

A. The stopping potential depends not only on the work function of the metal but also on the frequency of the incident light.

B. The saturation current increases as the intensity of incident light increases. This is correct because the number of photoelectrons (which cause the current) increases with the intensity of the light.

C. The maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron depends on the frequency of the incident light, not its intensity.

D. The photoelectric effect cannot be explained using the wave theory of light. It was one of the key pieces of evidence for the particle theory of light.
