Photons with energy $5\, eV$ are incident on a cathode $C$ in a photoelectric cell. The maximum energy of emitted photoelectrons is $2\, eV.$ When photons of energy $6\, eV$ are incident on $C,$ no photoelectrons will reach the anode $A,$ if the stopping potential of $A$ relative to $C$ is ............ $V$.

Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface for frequencies $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1 : k$,then the threshold frequency of the metal surface is:

Photoelectrons are emitted from two similar metal plates when wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are incident on them $(\lambda_1 = 1.5\lambda_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively, then:

The threshold wavelength of a metal surface is $5 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. When it is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \times 10^{-10} \, m$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. What will be the stopping potential if the wavelength of the incident light is doubled?

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $2271 \,\mathring{A}$ from a $100 \; W$ mercury source irradiates a photo-cell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is $-1.3 \; V$, estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photo-cell respond to a high-intensity $(10^{5} \; W \; m^{-2})$ red light of wavelength $6328 \,\mathring{A}$ produced by a $He-Ne$ laser?
