The graph shows variation of stopping potential `V_(0)` versus frequency of incident radiation `v` for two photosensitive metals `A` and `B`. Which of two metals has higher threshold frequency and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Higher the threshold frequency, higher will be the work function . So metal A has higher threshold frequency and hence , have higher work function.
