$A$ cobalt $(Co)$ plate is placed at a distance of $1 \,m$ from a point source of power $1 \,W$. Assume a circular area of the plate of radius $r = 1 \,Å$ is exposed to the radiation and ejects photoelectrons. The light energy is considered to be spread uniformly and the work function of cobalt is $5 \,eV$. The minimum time the target should be exposed to the light source to eject a photoelectron (assuming no reflection losses) is: (in $\,s$)

  • A
    $320$
  • B
    $450$
  • C
    $860$
  • D

The figure shows the plot of stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus $(1/\lambda)$ for three different metals. If $\phi$ is the work function,then which of the following is correct?

$A$ photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \frac{hc}{\phi_0}$). The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. $A$ change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_d$ in $\lambda_d$. Then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \lambda_d}{\Delta \lambda}$ is proportional to:

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the wavelength of the incident radiation is $\lambda$. The wavelength of the incident radiation is reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$ of the initial value,and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is observed to be $n$ times the previous value. The threshold wavelength for the metal plate is:

If the frequency of incident light falling on a metallic surface is doubled, what happens to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

The stopping potential for electrons emitted from a photosensitive surface illuminated by light of wavelength $491\, nm$ is $0.710\, V$. When the incident wavelength is changed to a new value,the stopping potential is $1.43\, V$. The new wavelength is ....... $nm.$
