JEE Main 2013Dual Nature of Matter Question with Solution

JEE Main 2013 (25 Apr Online)

Question

In an experiment on photoelectric effect, a student plots stopping potential against reciprocal of the wavelength of the incident light for two different metals and . These are shown in the figure.
Looking at the graphs, you can most appropriately say that:

Correct answer
DStudents data is not correct

Step-by-step explanation

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi=\mathrm{eV}_0 \\ & \mathrm{v}_0=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\mathrm{e} \lambda}-\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{e}} \end{aligned}$
As the value of (increasing and decreasing) is not specified hence we cannot say that which metal has comparatively greater or lesser work function .
