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

The slope `(h//e)` of graph of stopping potential versus frequency of incident radiation is observed to be constant. It is used to determine the values of plank.s constant (h) and work function `(phi_o)`.
