Photoelectrons are emitted with maximum velocity $v$ when light of frequency $3f$ is incident on a photosensitive material of work function $2hf$. If the frequency of the incident light is $4.25f$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is ($h$ = Planck's constant).

Photoelectrons are emitted when photons of energy $4.2 \text{ eV}$ are incident on a photosensitive metallic sphere of radius $10 \text{ cm}$ and work function $2.4 \text{ eV}$. The number of photoelectrons emitted before the emission is stopped is
$\left[\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ SI unit; } e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}\right]$

The frequency of the incident light falling on a photosensitive metal plate is doubled. The kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is:

$X$-rays of a particular wavelength are used to irradiate sodium and copper surfaces in two separate experiments and stopping potentials are determined. The stopping potentials are

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.
