In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,plates of three different metals $p, q,$ and $r$ are used,with work functions $\phi_p = 2.0\ eV$,$\phi_q = 2.5\ eV$,and $\phi_r = 3.0\ eV$,respectively. Three radiations of equal intensity with wavelengths $550\ nm, 450\ nm,$ and $350\ nm$ are incident on these plates. Which of the following $I \rightarrow V$ graphs is correct for the experimental results? $(hc = 1240\ eV\ nm)$
