NEET Class neet Answered

X-rays of a particular wavelength are used to irradiate sodium and copper surfaces in two separate experiments and stopping potentials are determined. The stopping potentials are (1) Equal in both cases (2) Greater for sodium (3) Greater for copper (4) Infinite in both cases

The stopping potential is more for sodium than for copper. According to the photoelectric equation eVo=hνwork function
As the frequency of x-ray is same in both the cases. The work function of Na is 2.28 eV while for  Cu it is 4.7 eV. It means the work function of sodium is less than the work function of copper. therefore the stopping potential of Na is greater than the stopping potential of copper.
