The stopping potential V for photo-electric emission from a metal surface is plotted along Y-axis and frequency v of incident light along X-axis. A straight line is obtained as shown . Planck's constant is given by

A

Slope of the line

B

Product of slope on the line and charge on the electron

C

Product of intercept along Y-axis and mass of the electron

D

Product of slope and mass of electron

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`eV_0=hv-hv_0impliesV_0(h/e)v-(hv_0)/e`
Slope `=h/e`
Now, with equation y = mx + c
`m =h/e , :. H = me` , where m is slope.

The stopping potential for photoelectrons from a metal surface is V_(1) when monochromatic light of frequency upsilon_(1) is incident on it. The stopping potential becomes V_(2) when monochromatic light of another frequency is incident on the same metal surface. If h be the Planck’s constant and e be the charge of an electron, then the frequency of light in the second case is:
