The stopping potential in the context of photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation:
  1. Phase
  2. Intensity
  3. Amplitude
  4. Frequency

Solution

According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation, stopping potential depends on frequency as

hν-hν∘=eVV=hν-hν∘e

Hence stopping potential depends on frequency.
