When monochromatic light is incident on a photosensitive surface,the number of photoelectrons emitted per second from the surface is $n$ and the maximum kinetic energy is $K_{max}$. If the intensity of the incident light is doubled,then...

$A$ 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:
