In an experiment on the photoelectric effect, monochromatic light of wavelength λ \lambda\,λ is incident on a metal surface of work function ϕ\phiϕ. The stopping potential of the emitted photoelectrons is measured to be VsV_sVs.
If h h\,h is the Planck constant, c c\,c is the speed of light in a vacuum, and e e\,e is the elementary charge, what physical quantity is represented by the expression:
hcϕ+eVs \frac{hc}{\phi + e V_s} ϕ+eVshcThe threshold wavelength of the metal
The wavelength of the incident light
The de Broglie wavelength of the fastest photoelectrons
The wavelength of a photon whose energy is equal to the maximum kinetic energy of an emitted photoelectron
