Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the stopping potential versus frequency plot for both silver and sodium. The stopping potential (Vs) is related to the frequency (ν) of the incident light and the work function (φ) of the metal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Photoelectric Equation**: The energy of the incoming photon is given by: \[ E = h \nu ...
