Options:
  • A depends on the intensity of the incident radiation
  • B depends on the nature of the metal and also on the intensity of incident radiation
  • C is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the incident radiation
  • D depends on the nature of the metal

The correct answer is: is same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the incident radiation
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation



$$
\mathrm{KE}_{\max }=\mathrm{hv}-\phi_{0}
$$
Comparing with the equation of straight line
$$
y=m x+c
$$
We get, slope of graph $=h$
