In the case of photoelectric emission from a certain metal,the cutoff frequency is $v$. If radiation of frequency $2v$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electrons will be ($m=$ mass of electron).

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photoelectric surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $K$. If $K$ is to be increased to twice its original value,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ such that :-

When a photosensitive material is illuminated by photons of energy $3.1 \ eV$,the stopping potential of the photoelectrons is $1.7 \ V$. When the same photosensitive material is illuminated by photons of energy $2.5 \ eV$,the stopping potential of the photoelectrons is: (in $V$)

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

When radiations of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential required is $4.8 \ V$.
