When a light of wavelength $4900 Å$ falls on a photosensitive metal, a negative $2 \,V$ potential is required to stop the emitted electrons. Then, the work-function of the material is nearly (given charge on electron $= 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C$ and Planck's constant $= 6.625 \times 10^{-34} Js$) (in $eV$)

View Solution

Two incident radiations having energies two times and ten times of the work function of a metal surface,produce photoelectric effect. The ratio of maximum velocities of emitted photoelectrons respectively is

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with the same velocity,then stopping potential will:
