$A$ beam of light of wavelength $400\,nm$ and power $1.55\,mW$ is directed at the cathode of a photoelectric cell. If only $10\%$ of the incident photons effectively produce photoelectrons,then find the current due to these electrons in $\mu A$. (Given: $hc = 1240\,eV\cdot nm$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)

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?

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths $248 \ nm$ and $310 \ nm$. The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are $u_1$ and $u_2$,respectively. If the ratio $u_1: u_2 = 2: 1$ and $hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm$,the work function of the metal is nearly: (in $eV$)

The work function of a metal is $4.2 \ eV$. Its threshold wavelength will be .......... $ \mathring A $.

The graph of stopping potential $V_s$ against frequency $\nu$ of incident radiation is plotted for two different metals $X$ and $Y$ as shown in the graph. If $\phi_x$ and $\phi_y$ are the work functions of $X$ and $Y$,respectively,then:
