If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled, the stopping potential will
The magnitude of stopping potential is given by
The frequency of light is given by
The work function of metal is given by
Where,=Planck’s constant;
=Wavelength of light;
=Threshold wavelength;
=Threshold frequency;
=Velocity of light and
=charge on electron
Put equation (2) and equation (3) in equation (1), we get
Now, if the frequency of light is doubled, the stopping potential will be
To compare equation (4) and (5), we need to multiply 2 in equation (4) on both sides, we get
Now, comparing equation (5) and equation (6),
Therefore, the stopping potential becomes more than double when the frequency of light is doubled.
