The graph between the maximum speed v max of a photoelectron and frequency ( v ) of the incident radiation, in photoelectric effect is correctly represented by:

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

From Einstein's photoelectric equation, $h ν = h ν_{0} + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Now, there is a frequency intercept along the positive horizontal axis and the slope of the graph between velocity and frequency is decreasing.
