The stopping potential of the photoelectrons, from a photo cell is (a) directly proportional to intensity of incident light (b) directly proportional to frequency of incident light (c) inversely proportional to frequency of incident light (d) Inversely proportional to intensity of incident light

Answer: (b). V₀ = h/eν - φ/e: V₀ increases linearly with frequency and does not depend on intensity. Of the given options, only (b) relates V₀ to frequency in the right direction (strictly it is linear, not exactly proportional). So the answer is (b).

The stopping potential of the photoelectrons, from a photo cell is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$V_0 = \dfrac{h}{e}\nu - \dfrac{\phi}{e}$ : $V_0$ increases linearly with frequency and does not depend on intensity.
Of the given options, only (b) relates $V_0$ to frequency in the right direction (strictly it is linear, not exactly proportional).
So the answer is (b).
