If the frequency of incident photon on metal surface is doubled, then stopping potential will become
Options
- Adoubled
- Bless than double
- Cmore than double
- Dless than existing value
Correct answer
C. more than double
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, h f=W₀+e V₀...(i) If frequency is doubled, then aligned h(2 f) & =W₀+e V₀^ 2 h f & =W₀+e V₀^ ...(ii) aligned Substituting hf from Eq. (i) in Eq. (ii), we have, or V₀^ =2 V₀+ W₀ e or V₀^ 2 V₀
