Dual Nature Of Light Question 367

Question: A source of light is placed at a distance of 50 cm from a photocell and the stopping potential is found to be $ V_{0} $ . If the distance between the light source and photocell is made 25 cm, the new stopping potential will be

Options:

A) $ 2V_{0} $

B) $ V_{0}/2 $

C) $ V_{0} $

D) $ 4V_{0} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Since, stopping potential is independent of distance hence new stopping potential will remain unchanged i.e., new stopping potential $ =V_{0}. $
