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

  • A
    greater than that of $B$.
  • B
    smaller than that of $B$.
  • C
    same as that of $B$.
  • D
    that no comparison can be made from the graphs.
