The photoelectric effect was successfully explained first by

The threshold frequency of a metal is $f_0$. When light of frequency $2f_0$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5f_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is:

For a photoelectric cell,the graph showing the variation of stopping potential $(V_o)$ with frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light is best represented by:

On a photosensitive material,when the frequency of incident radiation is increased by $20 \%$,the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons increases from $0.4 \ eV$ to $0.7 \ eV$. The work function of the material is (in $eV$)
