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.

Consider the two idealized systems: (i) a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and (ii) a long solenoid of length L > > R, radius of cross-section. In (i) E is ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In (ii) magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below:
