Figure shows the stopping potential `(V_(0))` for the photo electron vers `((1)/(lambda))` graph, for two metals A and B, `lambda` being the wavelength of incident light.

If the distance between the light source and the surface of metal A is increased, how will the stopping potential for the electrons emitted from it be affected ? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Stopping potential remains unchanged because it solely depends on the frequency (or wave length) of incident radiation and is independent of all other factors.
