JEE Main 4 April 2026, Shift 1, Physics Q32

Question 32 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 7 of 25, Section A.

The graph shows variation of stopping potential VoV_o with the frequency ν\nu of the incident radiation for three photosensitive metals X1X_1, X2X_2 and X3X_3. Which metal will give out electrons with greater kinetic energy, for the same wavelength of incident radiation?

The figure, in words

Graph of stopping potential VoV_o (vertical axis) vs frequency ν\nu (horizontal axis, ×1014\times10^{14} Hz): three parallel straight lines labelled X1X_1, X2X_2, X3X_3 with frequency-axis intercepts 1.01.0, 1.51.5 and 22 respectively.
