Define the term 'stopping potential' in relation to photoelectric effect.

The stopping potential in an experiment on photoelectric effect is 2V. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted ?

The stopping potential in the context of photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation :

A certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength lamda . The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this light is 3V_0 . If the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength 2 lamda , the stopping potential is V_0 . The threshold wavelength for this surface for photoelectric effect is

When monochromatic light of wavelength lambda is incident on a metallic surface the stopping potential for photoelectric current is 3V_(0) when same surface is illuminated with light of waelength 2lambda the stopping potential is V_(0) The threshold wavelength for this surface when photoelectric effect takes place is
