  2. B22
  3. C11
  4. D1.51 . 5

Correct answer

C. 11

Step-by-step solution

The data given is

ϕAl=4.1eV{ϕ}_{Al} = 4 . 1eV

ϕAu=5.1eV{ϕ}_{Au} = 5 . 1eV

The energy is given by

hν=ϕ+KE⇒hν=ϕ+eV0hν = ϕ + KE ⇒ hν = ϕ + e{V}_{0}

where V0{V}_{0} is the stopping potential and K=eV0K = e{V}_{0}

Thus, the above equation can be written as

eV0=hν−ϕe{V}_{0} = hν - ϕ

⇒V0=hνe−ϕe⇒ {V}_{0} = \dfrac{hν}{e} - \dfrac{ϕ}{e}

The equation is of the form of y=mx+cy = mx + c. The slope is

m=hem = \dfrac{h}{e}.

Since the Planck constant hh and charge of an electron is a constant ee, the slope does not depend on the work function. Hence the ratio of the slope of the plot of stopping potential and frequency for both the given metals is 11.
