This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled,both the $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ are also doubled.
Statement-$2$: The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ of the incident light rays $(\nu_1 > \nu_2)$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the first case to that in the second case is $3 : K$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

$A$ beam of photons with an energy of $10.5 \ eV$ strikes a metal plate. The photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $1.6 \times 10^6 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The work function of the metal is (Assume mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$). (in $eV$)

The threshold wavelength of a metal surface is $5 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. When it is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \times 10^{-10} \, m$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. What will be the stopping potential if the wavelength of the incident light is doubled?

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the plot of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope:

When a photon of energy $8 \ eV$ is incident on a metal surface with a threshold frequency of $1.6 \times 10^{15} \ Hz$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is .......... $eV$. (Given: $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$)
