The surface of a metal is first illuminated with a light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and later illuminated by another light of wavelength $500 \ nm$. It is observed that the ratio of maximum velocities of photoelectrons in the two cases is $3$. The work function of the metal is close to: (in $eV$)

Cut-off potentials for a metal in the photoelectric effect for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ are found to be $V_1$,$V_2$,and $V_3$ volts. If $V_1$,$V_2$,and $V_3$ are in Arithmetic Progression,then $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ will be in:

An image of the sun is formed by a lens of focal length $30 \ cm$ on the metal surface of a photoelectric cell and a photoelectric current $I$ is produced. The lens forming the image is then replaced by another of the same diameter but of focal length $15 \ cm$. The photoelectric current in this case is
