Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the relationship between stopping potential and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Photoelectric Effect**: - In the photoelectric effect, when light of sufficient frequency strikes a metal surface, it ejects electrons from the surface. The energy of the incoming photons is converted into kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons. 2. **Maximum Kinetic Energy of Photoelectrons**: ...
