Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs

In photoelectric effect experiment, if the frequency of incident radiation (vv) is increased, keeping all other factors constant, the stopping potential, ( v>v0v > v_0) (v0v_0 = threshold frequency)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. eV0=hν−ϕ⇒V0=heν−ϕeeV_0 = h\nu - \phi \Rightarrow V_0 = \dfrac{h}{e}\nu - \dfrac{\phi}{e}.
  2. V0V_0 increases linearly as ν\nu increases.
  3. So the answer is (c) increases.
