Figure shows a plot of stopping potential

( {\V}_0)

versus

\;{1}/{λ}

, is the wavelength of the radiation causing photoelectric emission from a surface. The slope of the line is equal to

Solution: 👈: Video Solution

From Einstein's equation,

{\e } V_0\;= {\hv}- {\h} v_0

or,

V_0\;=\;{h v}/{e}-\;{h v_0}/{e} \;\; [ ∵ v=\;{h}/{c}]

or,

V_0\;=\;{h c}/{λ e}-\;{h c}/{λ_0 e}

So, the slope of

V_0

vs.

1 \/ λ

graph is

h c \/ e
