When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $3 V_{s}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $V_{s}$. The value of the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is:

The work function of a metal is $1 \; eV$. Light of wavelength $3000 \; \mathring{A}$ is incident on this metal surface. The velocity of the emitted photo-electrons will be:

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\phi$ placed in a magnetic field $B$. The most energetic electrons, moving perpendicular to the field, are bent in circular arcs of radius $R$. If the experiment is performed for different values of $\lambda$, then the $B^2$ vs. $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant):

The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted by a metal surface is $9 \times 10^5 \ m/s$. The value of the ratio of charge $(e)$ to mass $(m)$ of the photoelectron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$. The value of the stopping potential in volts is:

When the electromagnetic radiations of frequencies $4 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ and $6 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ fall on the same metal in different experiments,the ratio of maximum kinetic energy of electrons liberated is $1: 3$. The threshold frequency for the metal is ............... $\times 10^{15} Hz$.
