For a photosensitive material, work function is 'W' and stopping potential is 'V'. The wavelength of the incident radiation is (h=Planck's constant, c = velocity of light, e = electronic charge)

Answer: (B)

Solution

By Einstein's photoelectric equation, the energy of the incident photon is shared between the work function and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron: . The stopping potential gives . Therefore
