Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs

Using Einstein's photoelectric equation, the graph between kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons and the frequency of incident radiation is shown correctly by graph

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. E=hν−ϕE = h\nu - \phi: a straight line with positive slope hh.
  2. E=0E = 0 at ν=ν0\nu = \nu_0, and no electrons are emitted below ν0\nu_0, so the line starts from a point on the ν\nu axis.
  3. Graph 1 shows this.
  4. So the answer is (a) 1.
