MCQ
How does retarding potential vary with the frequency of light causing photoelectric effect?
- AInfinite
- BZero
- CDecreases
- ✓Increases
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Increases
The stopping potential is directly proportional to the frequency of light.
Hence, the stopping potential increases with an increase in the frequency of the incident light.
