MCQ
How does retarding potential vary with the frequency of light causing photoelectric effect?
  • A
    Infinite
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    Decreases
  • D
    Increases

Answer

  1. Increases

Explanation:

The stopping potential is directly proportional to the frequency of light.

Hence, the stopping potential increases with an increase in the frequency of the incident light.
