In a photoemission experiment,the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons from metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $E_P, E_Q$ and $E_R$,respectively,and they are related by $E_P = 2E_Q = 2E_R$. In this experiment,the same source of monochromatic light is used for metals $P$ and $Q$,while a different source of monochromatic light is used for metal $R$. The work functions for metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $4.0 \ eV$,$4.5 \ eV$ and $5.5 \ eV$,respectively. The energy of the incident photon used for metal $R$,in $eV$,is:

When a metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $5V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $3\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. Then the work function of the metallic surface is:

The threshold wavelength for photoelectric effect from a metal is $200 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons when radiation of wavelength $100 \ nm$ is incident on the metal is .......... $eV$.

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

Explain: "For photoelectric emission, the frequency of incident radiation should be greater than the threshold frequency."
