The maximum wavelength of light which causes photoelectric emission from a photosensitive metal surface is $\lambda_0$. Two light beams of wavelengths $\frac{\lambda_0}{3}$ and $\frac{\lambda_0}{9}$ are incident on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is

  • A
    $3: 4$
  • B
    $1: 3$
  • C
    $1: 2$
  • D
    $2: 3$

Find the maximum magnitude of the linear momentum of a photoelectron emitted when light of wavelength $400 \, nm$ falls on a metal having a work function of $2.5 \, eV$.

$A$ Hydrogen-like atom has atomic number $Z$. Photons emitted in the electronic transitions from level $n=4$ to level $n=3$ in these atoms are used to perform a photoelectric effect experiment on a target metal. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons generated is $1.95 \ eV$. If the photoelectric threshold wavelength for the target metal is $310 \ nm$,the value of $Z$ is:

When a photon of energy $hv$ is incident on an aluminum plate (work function $E_0$),photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy $K$ are emitted. What will be the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons when a photon of energy $2hv$ is incident on the same aluminum plate?

In a photoelectric experiment,the potential difference $V$ that must be maintained between the illuminated surface and the collector so as just to prevent any electron from reaching the collector is determined for different frequencies $f$ of the incident illumination. The graph obtained is shown. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted at frequency $f_1$ is
