Question

In photoelectric effect, the stopping potential $(V_{0}) v / s$ frequency $(ν)$ curve is plotted. ( h is the Planck's constant and $ϕ_{0}$ is work function of metal ) (A) $V_{0} v / s ν$ is linear. (B) The slope of $V_{0} v / s ν$ curve $= \frac{ϕ _{0}}{h}$ (C) h constant is related to the slope of $V_{0} v / s ν$ line. (D) The value of electric charge of electron is not required to determine $h$ using the $V_{0} v / s ν$ curve. (E) The work function can be estimated without knowing the value of $h$ . Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

Answer:

B

Solution:

$hv = ϕ + KE_{m a x} KE_{m a x} = eV_{0} V_{0} = \frac{hv - ϕ}{e}$ (A) $V_{0} v / sV$ is linear correct (B) Slope $v_{0} = (\frac{h}{e}) v - \frac{ϕ}{e} Wrong$ Slope $\frac{h}{e}$ (C) Correct (D) Incorrect (E) Correct
