Photoelectric EffectMedium
Question
In a photoelectric experiment, if stopping potential is applied, then photocurrent becomes zero. This means that :
Options
A.the emission of photoelectrons is stopped
B.the photoelectrons are emitted but are reabsorbed by the emitter metal
C.he photoelectrons are accumulated near the collector plate
D.the photoelectrons are dispersed from the sides of the apparatus.
Solution
Emission of photo electron is independent of external factor. It depends only on the nature of the material and wavelength of incident light
