In a photoelectric effect experiment, the graph of stopping potential V versus reciprocal of wavelength obtained is shown in the figure. As the intensity of incident radiation is increased :

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. Graph does not change

Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by,

${eV}_{s} = hν - {W}_{o}$ , where ${W}_{o}$ is the work function.

$⇒ {V}_{s} = \dfrac{hc}{e \lambda} - \dfrac{{W}_{o}}{e}$ , where $c = ν\lambda$ .

Intensity does not affect the frequency and work function of a material. Therefore, the graph does not change with increasing intensity.
