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

We know, metal A has higher threshold frequency because the graph of A has higher y-intercept i.e. higher stopping potential.
