Set the initial conditions as above. We will set the wavelength to 397 nm. Determine how the current changes as the as you increase the intensity over 10% increments. Tabulate your results in excel. The current produced by shining light on a metal is called the photocurrent

Plot your results and comment on what you see. Does this result support the wave model of light?
Repeat this experiment with a different colour of light. You may need to use bigger/smaller starting point. Was there a colour that did not work? How does this discovery relate to the wave theory of light?
