  1.  
  1. The energy of a photon is hv.
  2. Each photon is completely absorbed by a single electron.
  1. $\text{E}_{k} = \text{hv} - \text{W}$
Alternate Answer

$\text{hv} =\text{hv}_{o} + \frac{1}{2}\text{mv}_{max^{2}} \text{ or }\text{hv} = \text{hv}_{o} + \text{eV}_{o}\text{ or }\text{E}_{k} = \text{h}(\text{v - v}_{o})$
  1. When Incident frequency < Threshold frequency, there will be no emission of electrons. Hence , frequency of incident radiation should be greater than threshold frequency. $\bigg(\text{v}_{o} = \frac{\text{w}}{\text{h}}\bigg)$
$\text{E}_{k} = \text{eV}_{o} = \text{hv} - \text{W}$

$\therefore\text{V}_{o} = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{e}}\text{v} - \frac{\text{W}}{\text{e}}$
  1. At $\text{v} =\text{v}_{0} , \text{E}_{k} = \text{eV}_{o} = 0 $
$V_o$ is called stopping potential.
