Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ respectively. If the velocities of the photo-electrons emitted are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} - f_{2}]$
  • B
    $v_{1}^{2} + v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} + f_{2}]$
  • C
    $v_{1} + v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} + f_{2})]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $v_{1} - v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} - f_{2})]^{1/2}$

Monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 4770 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident separately on the surface of four different metals $A, B, C$ and $D$. The work functions of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $4.2 \ \text{eV}, 3.7 \ \text{eV}, 3.2 \ \text{eV}$ and $2.3 \ \text{eV}$, respectively. From which of these metals will electrons be emitted?

When a point source of monochromatic light is at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photoelectric cell,the stopping potential and saturation photocurrent are $0.6 \ V$ and $18 \ mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed $0.6 \ m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then:

The electric field associated with a monochromatic light wave is given by $E = E_0 \sin \left[ \left( 1.57 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1} \right) (x - ct) \right]$. The stopping potential when this light is used in a photoelectric experiment with a metal having a work function of $1.9 \text{ eV}$ is: (Planck's constant,$h = 6.64 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J-s}$) (in $\text{ V}$)

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?
