If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled, the stopping potential will : |
be doubled be halved become more than double become less than double |
become more than double |
Let Initial frequency is f. Initial Stopping potential is $ V_s = \frac{hf - \phi}{e}$ When frequency is doubled then Stopping Potential is $ V_s' = \frac{2hf - \phi}{e} = \frac{2(hf - \phi) + \phi}{e} $ $\Rightarrow \text{Stopping Potential is } V_s' = 2V_s + \frac{\phi}{e}> 2V_s$ |
