When photons of energy $hf$ fall on an aluminium plate (of work function $E_0$),photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $K$ are ejected. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be:

When radiations of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential required is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiations of double the wavelength,the required stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. The value of the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

Two monochromatic light beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity are incident normally on a metallic surface per unit area. Their wavelengths are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The incident light is effective in ejecting photoelectrons. The ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted by beam $A$ to that by beam $B$ is:
