A point source of light is used in a photoelectric effect. If the source is removed farther from the emitting metal, then the stopping potential will
The figure shows the variation of photocurrent with anode potential for four different radiations. Let $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{a}}, \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}, \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{c}}$ and $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{d}}$ be the intensities for the curves $a, b, c$ and $d$ respectively $\left[f_a, f_b, f_c\right.$ and $f_d$ are frequencies respectively]

When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light wavelength $\lambda$, the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $4 \mathrm{~V}_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $3 \lambda$, the stopping potential is $\mathrm{V}_0$. The threshold wavelength for this surface for photoelectric effect is
The stopping potential as a function of frequency of incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces A and B. The graph shows that the work function of A is
