(b) (i)
UV light/Light of a suitable wavelength or frequency
(1) illuminates the cathode/metal surface and
ejects photoelectrons (1). [The ejected
photoelectrons have a range of energies (speeds)].

Stopping potential is the minimum reverse voltage
(1) which must be applied between the plates to
completely stop the flow of electrons with the
maximum KE (1) from the cathode.
