In photoelectric effect, what does the stopping potential depend upon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In photoelectric effect, the stopping potential depends upon the energy of the incident photon and the work function for the metal irradiated (or, equivalently, upon the frequency of the incident radiation and the threshold frequency for metal irradiated).
