Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Question:

Einstein's Photoelectric Equation is :

Kmax = hv - Φ

where v is the frequency of the incident radiation and Kmax is the maximum possible kinetic energy of photoelectron. The work function Φ is given as :

Φ = hv. In terms of stopping potential, Kmax = eV0.

What kind of graph do you expect between the stopping potential and the frequency of the incident radiation?

Options:

straight line passing through origin

straight line with y-intercept

a curve

no graph.

Correct Answer:

straight line with y-intercept

Explanation:

Compare the equation with y=mx+c
