In a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of the light incident on the metal is changed from $200 \, nm$ to $400 \, nm$. The decrease in the stopping potential is close to [Use $hc = 1240 \, eV \cdot nm$ where $h$ is Planck's constant and $c$ is the velocity of light]. (in $ \, V$)

The stopping potential in the context of the photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation:

The threshold frequency for a photosensitive metal is $3.3 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}$. If light of frequency $8.20 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}$ is incident on this metal,the cut-off voltage for the photoelectron emission is nearly ............ $V$.

The stopping potential $(V_s)$ as a function of the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces $A$ and $B$. The graphs show that the work function of $A$ is

$A$ light wave described by $E = 60 \sin(3 \times 10^{15} t) + \sin(12 \times 10^{15} t)$ (in $SI$ units) falls on a metal surface of work function $2.8 \text{ eV}$. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectron is (approximately) . . . . . . $\text{eV}$.
