Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The relation between the stopping potential and the frequency of the incident light is given by
...
When V 0 = 0,
…
Substitute the value of the frequency corresponding to zero stopping potential into equation to calculate the required work function of the material.
