C. become more than double.

Step-by-step solution

Photoelectric Effect Stopping Potential Analysis The photoelectric equation is expressed as h = + eV_s , with h representing Planck’s constant, the incident light frequency, the work function of the metal, e the electron charge, and V_s the stopping potential. Solving for the stopping potential yields V_s = h e - e . Let the initial frequency be ₁ and the corresponding stopping potential V_ s1 , so V_ s1 = h ₁ e - e . When the frequency is doubled, ₂ = 2 ₁ , the new stopping potential becomes V_ s2 = h 2 ₁ e - e =
