Photoelectric effect experiments are performed using three different metal plates $p, q$ and $r$ having work functions $\phi_p=2.0 \ eV, \phi_q=2.5 \ eV$ and $\phi_r=3.0 \ eV$,respectively. $A$ light beam containing wavelengths of $550 \ nm, 450 \ nm$ and $350 \ nm$ with equal intensities illuminates each of the plates. The correct $I-V$ graph for the experiment is:

Two electrons are moving with the same speed $v$. One electron enters a region of a uniform electric field,while the other enters a region of a uniform magnetic field. If the de-Broglie wavelengths of the two electrons after some time are ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$ respectively,then:

In a photocell,bichromatic light of wavelengths $2475 \ \mathring{A}$ and $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident on a cathode whose work function is $4.8 \ eV$.
