Explain the inverse linear dependence of stopping potential on the incident wavelength in a photoelectric effect experiment.

उत्तर
Hence, it follows that as `1/lambda` increases, V0 increases.
The plot of V0 verses `1/lambda` is linear. This is due to the fact that the energy associated with a quantum of radiation (photon) is directly proportional to its frequency and thus inversely proportional to its wavelength of radiation.
