The work function of a metal is $1 \; eV$. Light of wavelength $3000 \; \mathring{A}$ is incident on this metal surface. The velocity of the emitted photo-electrons will be:

In a photoemissive cell with exciting wavelength $\lambda$,the fastest electron has speed $v$. If the exciting wavelength is changed to $\frac{3\lambda}{4}$,the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be

When the light source is kept $20 \ cm$ away from a photo cell,a stopping potential of $0.6 \ V$ is obtained. When the source is kept $40 \ cm$ away,the stopping potential will be .......... $V$.

From a metallic surface,photoelectric emission is observed for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ $(v_1 > v_2)$ of the incident light. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1:x$. Hence,the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

The stopping potential $({V_0})$:
