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?

  • A
    $\frac{V_0}{2}$
  • B
    $2V_0$
  • C
    $> 0.5 V_0$
  • D
    $< 0.5 V_0$

The correct graph between the maximum kinetic energy $(K_{\max})$ of a photoelectron and the inverse of the wavelength $(1/\lambda)$ of the incident radiation is given by the curve:

$A$ Hydrogen-like atom has atomic number $Z$. Photons emitted in the electronic transitions from level $n=4$ to level $n=3$ in these atoms are used to perform a photoelectric effect experiment on a target metal. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons generated is $1.95 \ eV$. If the photoelectric threshold wavelength for the target metal is $310 \ nm$,the value of $Z$ is:

When a certain photosensitive surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of frequency $v$,the stopping potential for the photocurrent is $-V_0/2$.
