The slope of the stopping potential $V_0$ versus frequency $v$ of the incident radiation plot is (Where symbols have their usual meaning) |
$e/h$ $h/c$ $h/e$ $c/h$ |
$h/e$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $h/e$ Photoelectric effect equation: $e V_0 = h \nu - \phi$ Rewriting: $V_0 = \frac{h}{e} \nu - \frac{\phi}{e}$ This is in the form of a straight line: $V_0 = \text{slope} \cdot \nu + \text{intercept}$ Therefore, slope of $V_0$ versus $\nu$ plot: Slope $= \frac{h}{e}$ |
