Question

The stopping potential is directly related to (A) the work function of the metal (B) intensity of incident radiation (C) the saturation current for the given frequency (D) the kinetic energy gained by the photoelectrons

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For the given frequency of incident light

K_{m a x} = e V_{0}

where

K_{m a x}

is the maximum kinetic energy gained by photoelectron and

V_{0}

is the minimum retarding potential for which the photocurrent stops.

e =

charge of electron.

Q. The stopping potential is directly related to

the work function of the metal

intensity of incident radiation

the saturation current for the given frequency

the kinetic energy gained by the photoelectrons

For the given frequency of incident light Kmax​=eV0​ where Kmax​ is the maximum kinetic energy gained by photoelectron and V0​ is the minimum retarding potential for which the photocurrent stops. e= charge of electron.

For the given frequency of incident light $K_{m a x} = e V_{0}$
where $K_{m a x}$ is the maximum kinetic energy gained by photoelectron and $V_{0}$ is the minimum retarding potential for which the photocurrent stops.
$e =$ charge of electron.
