The stopping potential of photo-electrons depends upon:

  1. A Frequency of incident light only
  2. B material of the cathode only
  3. C both the frequency of the incident light and the material of the cathode.
  4. D intensity of the incident light.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) both the frequency of the incident light and the material of the cathode.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

both the frequency of the incident light and the material of the cathode. This equation shows that the stopping potential (\(\mathbf{V}_{\mathbf{s}}\)) depends on the frequency of the incident light (\(\mathbf{f}\)) and the work function (\(\mathbf{\phi }\)) of the cathode…
