The work function of a metal is $2 \ eV$. If a radiation of wavelength $3000 \ \text{Å}$ is incident on it,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is (Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js}$; velocity of light $c=3 \times 10^8 \ \text{m/s}$; $1 \ \text{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ \text{J}$).

The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:

The graph shows the variation of stopping potential $V_o$ with the frequency $\nu$ of the incident radiation for three photosensitive metals $X_1, X_2$ and $X_3$. Which metal will emit photoelectrons with greater kinetic energy, for the same wavelength of incident radiation?

All electrons ejected from a metallic surface by incident light of wavelength $400 \,nm$ travelled $1 \,m$ in the direction of a uniform electric field of $2 \,N/C$ and came to rest. The work function of the surface is (in $\,eV$)

When a metal surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $8 \ V$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $3 \lambda$,the stopping potential is $2 \ V$. The threshold wavelength for this surface is:

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photo-sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $E$. If the kinetic energy is to be increased to $2E$,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ where
