Two photons having energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident one after another on the metal surface. Then the ratio of maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is respectively:

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:

$A$ photo-emissive substance is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda_i$ so that it releases electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_c$. The longest wavelength of radiation that can emit photoelectrons is $\lambda_0$. The expression for the de-Broglie wavelength is given by ($m$: mass of the electron,$h$: Planck's constant,and $c$: speed of light).

When a metal surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$,the maximum velocities of photoelectrons ejected are $V$ and $2V$ respectively. The work function of the metal is ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light,$\lambda_1 > \lambda_2$).
