The maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface is $1.2 \times 10^6 \ m/s$. If the specific charge of the electron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$,then the value of the stopping potential in volts is:

Photoelectrons are emitted from a photosensitive surface for light of wavelengths $\lambda_{1} = 360 \ nm$ and $\lambda_{2} = 600 \ nm$. What is the ratio of the work functions for the lights of wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$?

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ J \ m\right]$

The work functions of tungsten and sodium are $5.06 \ eV$ and $2.53 \ eV$ respectively. If the threshold wavelength for sodium is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,then the threshold wavelength for tungsten will be .......... $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ monochromatic point source of light is placed at a distance $d$ from a metal surface. Photoelectrons are ejected at a rate $n$ per second,and with maximum kinetic energy $E$. If the source is brought nearer to a distance $d / 2$,the rate and the maximum kinetic energy per photoelectron become nearly
