In the systematic study of the photoelectric effect experiment, the stopping potential depends (for a given metal):

  1. A Intensity of the incident light (radiation)
  2. B amplitude of the incident light (radiation)
  3. C Frequency of the incident light (radiation)
  4. D Exposure time of the incident light (radiation)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Frequency of the incident light (radiation)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The stopping potential is directly proportional to the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, which depends solely on the frequency of the incident light for a specific metal. Changes in intensity only affect the number of photoelectrons (photoelectric current), not…
