QNEET-2016-Ph-1093: NEET 2016 Physics - Class 12 NEET-2016-Ph-1093 Solution: When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of…

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength λ\lambda the stopping potential is V. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength 2λ2\lambda the stopping potential is V/4V/4. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is 5λ5\lambda 2λ2\lambda 3λ3\lambda 4λ4\lambda
