In case of photoelectric effect, the graph of measured stopping potential \(\left(\mathrm{V}_0\right)\) against frequency ' \(v\) ' of incident light is a straight line. The slope of this line multiplied by the charge of electron (e) gives

  1. A the work function of the metal.
  2. B the Planck's constant.
  3. C the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.
  4. D the threshold frequency for photoejection from the metal.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the Planck's constant.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{V}_0=\frac{\mathrm{h} \nu}{\mathrm{l}}-\frac{\mathrm{h} \mathrm{v}_0}{l} \\
& \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\mathrm{c}
\end{aligned}\)
The slope of this line is \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{l}\)
According to the question,
\(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{l} \times \mathrm{e}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The slope of line is ' \(h\) ' (Planck's constant).
