Question

The stopping potential in the context of photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation ______.

Options

• Amplitude

• Phase

• Frequency

• Intensity

Answer 1

The stopping potential in the context of photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation Frequency.

Explanation:

Using Einstein's photoelectric equation

hv = hv₀ + eV

V = `"hv"/"e" - "hv"_0/"e"`

Where V→ Stopping potential

V depends on frequency.
