Light of wavelength \(\lambda\) which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with same velocity then stopping potential will

  1. A increase
  2. B decrease
  3. C be zero
  4. D become exactly half
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increase

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to photoelectric equation
hcλ-ϕ=E where E=p22m(K.E)
If E is constant then 1λϕ 
If we decrease the wavelength λ , then stopping potential ϕ will increase such that hcλ-ϕ= constant
