NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

Photons with energy \(5\,\, eV\) are incident on a cathode \(C\) in a photoelectric cell. The maximum energy of emitted photoelectrons is \(2\,\, e V.\) When photons of energy \(6\,\, eV\) are incident on \(C,\) no photoelectrons will reach the anode \(A,\) if the stopping potential of \(A\) relative to \(C\) is  ............ \(V\)

  1. A \(-1\)
  2. B \(-3\)
  3. C \(+3\)
  4. D \(+4\)
