Medium MCQ +4 / -1

The stopping potential in the photoelectric effect depends on:

  1. A only intensity of incident light
  2. B only frequency of incident light Correct answer
  3. C both intensity and frequency
  4. D neither

Solution

$eV_0 = h\nu - \phi$: stopping potential depends only on frequency (and work function).
