If light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is allowed to fall on a metal,then the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is $E_1$. If the wavelength of light changes to $\lambda_2$,then the kinetic energy of the electrons changes to $E_2$. Then the work function of the metal is:

Photoelectric emission takes place from a certain metal at threshold frequency $v$. If the radiation of frequency $4v$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons will be ($m=$ mass of photoelectron,$h=$ Planck's constant).

When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $4 V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $3 \lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for this surface for the photoelectric effect is
