As we discussed in concept

Stopping Potential /Cut-off Potential -

It is defined as the potential necessary to stop any electron from reaching the other side.

-

 

 Stopping potential is amount of voltage needed to stop maximum energy electron.

Here maximum Kinetic energy = 0.5 eV

\therefore Stopping potential = 0.5 V

1.8 V

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

1.2 V

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

0.5 V

This option is correct.

Option 4)

2.3 V

This option is incorrect.
