The stopping potential as a function of the frequency of the incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces A and B. The graphs show that work function of A is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
From the given graph it is clear that if we extend the given graph for A and B, intercept of the line A on V axis will be smaller as compared to line B means work function of A is smaller than that of B.
