Question : 25
Total: 37
Figure shows the stopping potential ( V 0 ) for the photoelectron versus
graph, for two metals A and B , λ being the wavelength of incident light.
(b) If the distance between the light source and the surface of metalA is increased, how will the stopping potential from electrons emitted from it be effected? Justify your answer.
(a) How is the value of Planck's constant determined from the graph ?
(b) If the distance between the light source and the surface of metal
Solution:
(a) Planck's constant can be determined from the gradient of the graph.
Gradient =
h = Planck's constant
c = Velocity of light in vacuum
e = Charge of electron
Gradient to be measured from graph. The values ofc and e are known. Hence, h can be determined.
(b) If distance between source of light and surface of metal A is increased, the intensity of incident light decreases. But stopping potential does not depend on the intensity of the incident light. So, the stopping potential will not be affected.
