Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs

The work functions of Aluminium and Gold are 4.1 eV4.1\text{ eV} and 5.1 eV5.1\text{ eV} respectively. The ratio of the slope of the stopping potential versus frequency plot for Gold to that of Aluminium is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. V0=heν−ϕeV_0 = \frac{h}{e}\nu - \frac{\phi}{e}, so slope =h/e= h/e for every metal.
  2. The work function only shifts the line, it does not change the slope.
  3. Ratio of slopes =1= 1.
  4. So the answer is (c) 1.
