In an experiment on photoelectric effect, a student plots stopping potential 
against frequency v of the incident light for two different metals A and B. These are as shown in the figure.
Looking at the graphs, you can most appropriately say that
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Since, the values of v is not specified, therefore it is not possible to say that which metal has comparatively greater or lesser work function.
