    $4v/3$
  • B
    $5v/3$

$A$ point source of light emits photons of energy $4.8 eV$ at the rate $10^5$ photons per second. These photons are incident on a photo-sensitive sphere of work function $2.8 eV$ and radius $9 mm$. The sphere is initially neutral and the emitted photoelectrons are instantly swept away. The time after which the photoelectric emission stops is (in $s$)

$A$ silver sphere of radius $1 \ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted,the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^Z$ (where $1 < A < 10$). The value of $Z$ is:

On a photosensitive material,when the frequency of incident radiation is increased by $20 \%$,the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons increases from $0.4 \ eV$ to $0.7 \ eV$. The work function of the material is (in $eV$)

The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is $1.5 \; V$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted?

Radiation $p$ with wavelength $6561 \; \mathring{A}$ falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. The electrons are made to enter a uniform magnetic field of $3 \times 10^{-4} \; T$. If the radius of the largest circular path followed by the electrons is $10 \; mm$,the work function of the metal is close to ............... $eV$.
