When $UV$ light of wavelength $300 \, nm$ is incident on a metal surface having a work function of $2.13 \, eV$, electron emission takes place. The stopping potential is: (Given $hc = 1240 \, eV \cdot nm$) (in $ \, V$)

$V$ (stopping potential) is plotted against $\frac{1}{\lambda}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of incident radiation,for two metals.

$A$ photosensitive surface has work function $\phi$. If a photon of energy $3 \phi$ falls on this surface, the electron comes out with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \,m/s$. When the photon energy is increased to $7 \phi$, the maximum velocity of the photoelectron will be:

What is the stopping potential when a metal with a work function of $0.6 \ eV$ is illuminated with light of $2 \ eV$ (in $V$)?

In the photoelectric effect, the kinetic energy of the electron emitted from the metal surface depends upon:
