Question

The stopping potential as a function of frequency of incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces A and B . The graphs show that the work function of A is, greater than that of B, smaller than that of B, same as that of B, such that no comparison can be done from given graphs

We know that E = w + k E h v = h v 0 + e V 0 v 0 = h v e - h v 0 e From graph, we can see that v 0 is less for A and greater for B . Hence work function of A is less than B .
