When the wavelength of incident radiation is changed from $400 \ nm$ to $310 \ nm$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is doubled. The work function of the metal is ........ $eV$.

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:

$A$ cobalt $(Co)$ plate is placed at a distance of $1 \,m$ from a point source of power $1 \,W$. Assume a circular area of the plate of radius $r = 1 \,Å$ is exposed to the radiation and ejects photoelectrons. The light energy is considered to be spread uniformly and the work function of cobalt is $5 \,eV$. The minimum time the target should be exposed to the light source to eject a photoelectron (assuming no reflection losses) is: (in $\,s$)

The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$,$4972 \,\mathring A$,and $6216 \,\mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, W/m^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1 \, cm^2$ of a clean metallic surface with a work function of $2.3 \, eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2 \, s$.

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the first case is one-fourth that in the second case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).
