    $E \propto I, N \propto \lambda$
  • B
    $E \propto I, N \propto I$
  • C
    $E \propto I, N \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$
  • D
    $E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}, N \propto I$

The threshold wavelength for the photoelectric effect of a metal is $6500 \mathring{A}$. The work function of the metal is approximately .......... $eV$.

Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal,when light of a certain frequency is incident on it,are stopped fully by a retarding potential of $3 \ V$. The photoelectric effect on this metallic surface begins at a frequency of $6 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$. The frequency of the incident light in $s^{-1}$ is: [Planck's constant $= 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]

Light of incident frequency $3$ times the threshold frequency is incident on a photosensitive material. If the incident frequency is made $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text{th}}$ and intensity is tripled,then the photoelectric current will

$A$ and $B$ are two metals with threshold frequencies $1.8 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ and $2.2 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. Two identical photons of energy $0.825 \ eV$ each are incident on them. Then photoelectrons are emitted by (Take $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$)

The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$,$4972 \,\mathring A$,and $6216 \,\mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, W/m^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1 \, cm^2$ of a clean metallic surface with a work function of $2.3 \, eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2 \, s$.
