Two identical photo-cathodes receive light of frequencies $f_1$ and $f_2$. If the velocities of the photo-electrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:

Why can wave theory not explain the change in the kinetic energy of an electron with a change in the frequency of incident light?

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ J \ m\right]$

When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential of ejected photoelectrons is $4.8 \, V$. If the same surface is illuminated by radiation of double the previous wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \, V$. The threshold wavelength of the metal is $... \lambda$.

$A$ ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely $1$, $2$ and $3$. The threshold wavelengths of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$, respectively, and the magnitudes of the stopping potentials of these cells are $V_1$, $V_2$ and $V_3$, respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and the threshold wavelengths is $\lambda_1 < \lambda$, $\lambda_2 > \lambda$ and $\lambda_3 >> \lambda$. The correct option is:
