In an experiment to study photoelectric effect the observed variation of stopping potential with frequency of incident radiation is as shown in the figure. The slope and \(y\)-intercept are respectively

  1. A \(\frac{h}{e},-\frac{h v_0}{e}\)
  2. B \(\frac{h v}{e}, v_0\)
  3. C \(\frac{h v}{e},-\frac{h}{e}\)
  4. D \(h v_1-h v_0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{h}{e},-\frac{h v_0}{e}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted
photoelectrons is given as

\(\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & e V_0=h v-\phi_0 \\ \Rightarrow & V_0=\left(\frac{h}{e}\right) v-\frac{\phi_0}{e}\end{array}\)
Comparing with \(y=m x+c\), we get
\(\begin{aligned} \quad m & =\frac{h}{e} \text { and } c=-\frac{\phi_0}{e}=-\frac{h v_0}{e} \\ \therefore \text { Slope } & =m=\frac{h}{e}\end{aligned}\)
