उत्तर
eV0=hν−hν0
`V_0-h/ev-h/ev_0`
Here, e is the charge of an electron, Vo is the stopping potential, h is Planck's constant, ν0 is the threshold frequency and ν is the frequency of the incident light.
On comparing with y=mx+c, we find that the more the magnitude of intercept on y or V0 axis, the more is the threshold frequency (ν0).
From the graph, the threshold frequency for metal A is greater than that for metal B. Hence, the work function for metal A is greater than that for metal B.

Consider an electron in front of metallic surface at a distance d (treated as an infinite plane surface). Assume the force of attraction by the plate is given as `1/4 q^2/(4πε_0d^2)`.
