The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the stopping potential and the frequency of the incident radiation in the photoelectric effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Photoelectric Effect**: The stopping potential \( V_0 \) in a photoelectric effect experiment is related to the frequency of the incident light by the equation: \[ eV_0 = h\nu - \phi \] where \( e \) is the charge of an electron, \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( \nu \) is the frequency of the incident radiation, and \( \phi \) is the work function of the material. 2. **Change in Stopping Potential**: According to the problem, the stopping potential changes by \( \Delta V_0 = 30 \) volts. This means: \[ e \Delta V_0 = h \Delta \nu \] where \( \Delta \nu \) is the change in frequency. 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \Delta \nu = \frac{e \Delta V_0}{h} \] 4. **Substituting Known Values**: We know: - \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C (charge of an electron) - \( h = 6 \times 10^{-34} \) J·s (Planck's constant) - \( \Delta V_0 = 30 \) V Substituting these values into the equation: \[ \Delta \nu = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C})(30 \, \text{V})}{6 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J·s}} \] 5. **Calculating the Change in Frequency**: \[ \Delta \nu = \frac{4.8 \times 10^{-18}}{6 \times 10^{-34}} = 8 \times 10^{15} \, \text{Hz} \] 6. **Final Answer**: The magnitude of the change in frequency is: \[ \Delta \nu = 8 \times 10^{15} \, \text{Hz} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the answer to the question is \( 8 \times 10^{15} \, \text{Hz} \). ---
