JEE Main 2013 — Dual 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:

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 .
