    				| 1. | What is photelectric effect ? Define (i) Stopping potential (ii) Photoelectric work function. | 
| Answer» Photoelectric effect : The phnomenon of emission of electron by cetain substance (metal) when it is exposed to ratiation of suitable frequency is called photelectric effect. (i) Stopping potential : the minimum negative potential given to the plate for which photoelectric current stops flowing is, called cut off or stopping potential. (ii) Photoelectric work function : The minimum energy required to just remove an electron from the surface of a certain metal is called photoelectric work function. | |
