In a photoelectric effect experiment, light is shone on a clean surface of a metal that has a work function 5.75 eV. The light frequency is varied at several values, and the corresponding voltage to stop the photoelectric current is measured for each frequency. Finally, a straight line of stopping voltage (in eV) vs light frequency (in Hz) are plotted from the data, what is the slope of the line (in eV/Hz)?
