The work function of metal A is 3.0 eV. Metals B and C
have work functions of 4.0 eV and 5.0 eV, respectively.
Ultraviolet light shines on all three metals, creating
photoelectrons. Rank in order, from largest to smallest,
the stopping voltages for A, B, and C.
1. VA > VB > VC
2. VC > VB > VA
3. VA = VB = VC
