Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs
The work functions of Aluminium and Gold are and 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)
- , so slope for every metal.
- The work function only shifts the line, it does not change the slope.
- Ratio of slopes .
- So the answer is (c) 1.
