Light of wavelength A 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

A

increase

B

decrease

C

be zero

D

become exactly half

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to photoelectric equation,
`(hc)/lambda = phi+E`
Symbols have their usual meaning
E =kinetic energy
If E is constant, then `1/lambda alpha phi=`
If we decrease the wavelength lambda, then stopping potential `phi` will increase such that `(hc)/lambda-phi` = constant
