NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Easy-Class 12

What is the relationship between the stopping potential and the frequency of incident light in the photoelectric effect?

A

The stopping potential is directly related to the frequency of incident light.

B

The stopping potential increases with intensity of light.

C

The stopping potential is independent of the frequency of incident light.

D

The stopping potential depends only on the intensity of light.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The stopping potential (V0) depends on the frequency of incident light and is independent of its intensity, as stated in the NCERT context. This means that for a given frequency, the stopping potential is determined by the energy of the photons involved.
