Choose the correct option for the graph between the frequency of incident light and the stopping potential.

A

It is a parabola

B

It is a straight line

C

It is a hyperbola

D

It is a circle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`hv=hv_(0)+(1)/(2)(mv^(2))_("max")`
`"But,"((1)/(2)mv^(2))_("max")=eV_(S)thereforeV_(S)=(hv)/(e)-(h)/(e)v_(0)`
Hence, it is a straight line.
