Question:

In a typical set-up of photo electric effect, the original source of blue light is replaced with a source of red light of testy. Which of the following phenomenon is observed?

Options:

Photoelectric current increases

Photoelectric current decreases

Stopping potential increases

Stopping potential decreases

Correct Answer:

Stopping potential decreases

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : Stopping potential decreases

Frequency of red light is less than frequency of blue light therefore kinetic energy of emitted electron decreases and stopping potential decreases.
