Maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by a metal is $1.8 \times 10^{6} \ m/s$. Take the value of specific charge of the electron as $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$. Then the stopping potential in volt is

When the light of frequency $2v_0$ (where $v_0$ is threshold frequency) is incident on a metal plate,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5v_0$,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is

$A$ sodium surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $3000\ \mathring A$. The work function of sodium is $2.6\ eV$. The maximum $K.E.$ of the emitted electrons is ........ $eV$.

When a light of wavelength $4900 Å$ falls on a photosensitive metal, a negative $2 \,V$ potential is required to stop the emitted electrons. Then, the work-function of the material is nearly (given charge on electron $= 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C$ and Planck's constant $= 6.625 \times 10^{-34} Js$) (in $eV$)

In the photoelectric effect experiment, if the frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ is increased, keeping all other factors constant, what happens to the stopping potential $(V_s)$, given $(v > v_0)$ where $(v_0)$ is the threshold frequency?
