In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the frequency $\nu$ of the incident light is plotted against the stopping potential $V_0$. The work function of the photoelectric surface is given by ($e$ is the electronic charge):

  • A
    $OB \times e$ in $eV$
  • B
    $OB$ in volt
  • C
    $OA$ in $eV$
  • D
    The slope of the line $AB$
