A graph of stopping potential of a photo sensitive metal with the frequency of incident radiation is plotted. What does the slope of this curve represent?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


(i) Slope is determined by h and e. (or slope is independent of the metal used.)
(ii) Work function of the metal.
