When a point source of light is at a distance of $50 \, cm$ from a photoelectric cell,the cut-off voltage is found to be $V_0$. If the same source is placed at a distance of $1 \, m$ from the cell,then the cut-off voltage will be

  • A
    $V_0 / 4$
  • B
    $V_0 / 2$
  • C
    $V_0$
  • D
    $2 V_0$
