Define the terms : Stopping potential....

Define the terms :
Stopping potential.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The minimum negative potential of the anode for which all photo electrons are prevented from reaching the anode is called the stopping potential. Stopping potential is directly proportional to the frequency above the threshold frequency.
