Energy of the incident photons on the metal surface is initially $4W$ and then $6W$,where $W$ is the work function of that metal. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}: \sqrt{3}$

When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $3 V_{s}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $V_{s}$. The value of the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is:

For a metal with a work function of $6.6 \text{eV}$, which of the following wavelengths of incident radiation does not cause the photoelectric effect (in $\text{nm}$)? (Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \text{J s}$ and speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{m/s}$)

The threshold wavelength of tungsten is $2300 \, \mathring{A}$. If ultraviolet light of wavelength $1800 \, \mathring{A}$ is incident on it,then the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons would be about ............ $eV$.
