If in a photoelectric experiment , the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from `6000 Å to 4000 Å` then

A

Stopping potential will decrease

B

Stopping potential will increase

C

Kinetic energy of emitted electrons will decrease

D

The valuer of work function will decrease

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Stopping potential `V_(0) = (hc )/€ [ (1)/(lambda) - (1)/(lambda_(0))]`.
As `lambda` decreases so `V_(0)` increases.
