Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs

Graph shows variation of stopping potential with frequency of incident radiation on a metal plate. The value of Planck's constant is [ e=\mathrm{e} = charge on photoelectron]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. eV=hν−ϕeV = h\nu - \phi, so slope of VV vs ν\nu =he= \frac{h}{e}.
  2. From points C and D: slope =V2−V1ν2−ν1= \frac{V_2 - V_1}{\nu_2 - \nu_1}.
  3. h=e(V2−V1)ν2−ν1h = \frac{e(V_2 - V_1)}{\nu_2 - \nu_1}
  4. So the answer is (c).
