The work functions of Aluminium and Gold are and respectively. The ratio of the slope of the stopping potential versus frequency plot for Gold to that of Aluminium is
The work functions of Aluminium and Gold are 4 . 1   eV and 5 . 1   eV respectively. The ratio of…
Solution
The data given is
The energy is given by
where is the stopping potential and
Thus, the above equation can be written as
The equation is of the form of . The slope is
.
Since the Planck constant and charge of an electron is a constant , the slope does not depend on the work function. Hence the ratio of the slope of the plot of stopping potential and frequency for both the given metals is .
