For two different photosensitive materials having work functions $\phi$ and $2 \phi$ respectively,which are illuminated with light of sufficient energy to emit electrons,if the graph of stopping potential $(V_s)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ is drawn for these two materials,what is the ratio of the slopes of the graphs for these two materials?

The wave equation of an electric field at a point is $E = 100 \frac{V}{m} [\sin(7 \omega t) + \cos(10 \omega t) + \cos(15 \omega t)]$ at instant $t$. If the work function of the photocell is $\phi$,then the stopping potential is:

When a metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $5V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $3\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. Then the work function of the metallic surface is:

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the frequency $\nu$ of the incident light is plotted against the stopping potential $V_0$. The work function of the photoelectric surface is given by ($e$ is the electronic charge):

When photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface of work function $E_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $k$ are emitted. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy will be equal to ($h=$ Planck's constant).
