    $5\lambda$
  • B
    $10\lambda$
  • C
    $11\lambda$
  • D

When photons are incident on a photosensitive material of work function $1.5 \text{ eV}$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $8 \times 10^5 \text{ m/s}$. The stopping potential of the photoelectrons is (Mass of the electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$ and charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$) (in $V$)

An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the second Bohr orbit to the ground state,and the energy difference of the two states is radiated in the form of photons. These photons are then allowed to fall on a metal surface having a work function equal to $4.2 \ eV$. Calculate the stopping potential. [Energy of electron in $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit $= -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$] (in $V$)

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of given intensity and frequency to cause photoemission. If the intensity of illumination is reduced to one fourth of its original value,then the maximum $KE$ of the emitted photoelectrons would be
