Photoelectric effect is observed on a surface for frequencies $5.5 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$ and $4.5 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1:5$,then the threshold frequency for the metal surface is:

  • A
    $7.55 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$
  • B
    $4.57 \text{ MHz}$
  • C
    $9.35 \text{ MHz}$
  • D
    $5.75 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$

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:

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $1.0 \ W/m^2$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $1\%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,then the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $1.0 \ cm^2$ of the surface is nearly

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the cathode metal is exposed to light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron doubles when light of wavelength $400 \ nm$ is used. The work function of the cathode metal is approximately: [Use $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J-s, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$] (in $eV$)

The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:
