Stopping potential for photoelectrons:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → depends on both the frequency of the incident light and the nature of the material of cathode
$eV_s=hv-\phi$ [Photoelectric equation]
where,
$v$ - frequency of the incident light
$\phi$ = work function (material property)
$v_s$ = Stopping potential
∴ $v_s$ depends upon both frequency (v) and nature of the material ($\phi$).
