The graph of stopping potential \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{s}\right)\) against frequency \((v)\) of incident radiation is plotted for two different metals 'P' and 'Q' as shown in the graph. \(\phi_{\mathrm{p}}\) and \(\phi_{\mathrm{q}}\) are work functions of \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\) respectively, then

  1. A \(\phi_{\mathrm{P}}=\phi_{\mathrm{Q}}\)
  2. B \(v_{0}^{\prime} < v_{0}\)
  3. C \(\phi_{\mathrm{P}} < \phi_{\mathrm{Q}}\)
  4. D \(\phi_{\mathrm{P}}>\phi_{\mathrm{Q}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\phi_{\mathrm{P}} < \phi_{\mathrm{Q}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B)
\(\phi=\mathrm{hv}_{\mathrm{o}} \quad \therefore \phi \propto \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}\)
\(v_{\mathrm{o}} < v_{\mathrm{o}}^{\prime} \quad \therefore \phi_{\mathrm{p}} < \phi_{\mathrm{Q}}\)
