In case of photoelectric emission from a certain metal, the cutoff frequency is $\nu$. If radiation of frequency $3\nu$ is incident on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electrons will be ($m$ = mass of electron, $h$ = Planck's constant).

    $\sqrt{\frac{h\nu}{2m}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{h\nu}{m}}$
  • C

$A$ Hydrogen-like atom has atomic number $Z$. Photons emitted in the electronic transitions from level $n=4$ to level $n=3$ in these atoms are used to perform a photoelectric effect experiment on a target metal. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons generated is $1.95 \ eV$. If the photoelectric threshold wavelength for the target metal is $310 \ nm$,the value of $Z$ is:

When a metallic surface is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda$, the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $6\lambda$, the stopping potential is $V/12$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is

For zero photoelectric current,the stopping potential is:
