(A) The Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by $KE_{\max} = eV_S = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi$.For $\lambda_1 = 280 \, nm$,the energy of the incident photon is $E_1 = \frac{1240 \, eV \cdot nm}{280 \, nm} \approx 4.43 \, eV$.The stopping potential $V_{S1}$ is $V_{S1} = \frac{E_1 - \phi}{e} = 4.43 - 2.5 = 1.93 \, V$.For $\lambda_2 = 400 \, nm$,the energy of the incident photon is $E_2 = \frac{1240 \, eV \cdot nm}{400 \, nm} = 3.10 \, eV$.The stopping potential $V_{S2}$ is $V_{S2} = \frac{E_2 - \phi}{e} = 3.10 - 2.5 = 0.60 \, V$.The change in stopping potential is $\Delta V = V_{S1} - V_{S2} = 1.93 - 0.60 = 1.33 \, V \approx 1.3 \, V$.

Monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on an isolated metal sphere of radius $a$. The threshold wavelength is $\lambda_0$,which is greater than $\lambda$. How many photoelectrons will be emitted before the emission of photoelectrons stops?

When photons of energy $hv$ fall on a metal plate of work function $W_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $K$ are ejected. If the frequency of the radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be

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 values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
