What is the slope of the $V_0 - \nu$ graph? Write its equation. Also,mention whether it depends on the type of material or not.

When photons are incident on a photosensitive material of work function $1.5 \text{ eV}$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $8 \times 10^5 \text{ m/s}$. The stopping potential of the photoelectrons is (Mass of the electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$ and charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$) (in $V$)

If the work function of a metal is $\phi$ and the frequency of the incident light is $v$,there is no emission of photoelectrons for:

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on a freshly polished surface of iron. The work function of the surface is $4.71 \ eV$. What will be the stopping potential in $eV$? $(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$

Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.
