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 :
Options
- AStraight line shifts to right
- BSlope of the straight line get more steep
- CStraight line shifts to left
- DGraph does not change
Correct answer
D. Graph does not change
Step-by-step solution
Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by, eV s = h ν - W o , where W o is the work function. ⇒ V s = h c eλ - W o e , where c = ν λ . Intensity does not affect the frequency and work function of a material. Therefore, the graph does not change with increasing intensity.
