If the frequency of the incident radiation is equal to the threshold frequency, what will be the value of the stopping potential?(a) 0(b) Infinite(c) 180 V(d) 1220 VThe question was asked at a job interview.My doubt stems from Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation : Energy Quantum of Radiation in portion Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (a) 0

For EXPLANATION I would SAY: From Einstein’s PHOTOELECTRIC equation, we have

\(\FRAC {1}{2}\) mv^2 = h(v – v0).

When v = v0,

hv0 = hv0 + eV0

Therefore, V0 = 0.
