  • A
    $1 : 5$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D

An isolated metallic sphere is illuminated by light of $4\,eV$ photon energy. If the work function of the metal is $2\,eV$,then the minimum potential of the sphere so that no photoelectrons are ejected is ................ $V$.

In an experiment of photoelectric effect,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The relation between $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ is:

In a photoelectric experiment,the wavelength of the light incident on a metal is changed from $300\, nm$ to $400\, nm$. The decrease in the stopping potential is close to ................ $V$ $\left( \frac{hc}{e} = 1240\, nm \cdot V \right)$

Initially,a photon of wavelength $\lambda_1$ falls on a photocathode and emits an electron of maximum energy $E_1$. If the wavelength of the incident photon is changed to $\lambda_2$,the maximum energy of the electron emitted becomes $E_2$. Then the value of $hc$ ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light) is
