Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Question:

In photoelectric effect, the stopping potential depends on the

Options:

intensity of the incident radiation

Frequency of the incident radiation only

nature of the material only

frequency of the incident radiation and nature of material both

Correct Answer:

frequency of the incident radiation and nature of material both

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → frequency of the incident radiation and nature of material both

Explanation: In photoelectric effect, stopping potential $V_0 = \frac{h\nu - \phi}{e}$ depends on the frequency $\nu$ of incident radiation and the work function $\phi$ (nature of the material), but not on intensity.
