When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is

  • A
    $2\lambda$
  • B
    $4\lambda$
  • C
    $6\lambda$
  • D
    $8\lambda$

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

The work functions of three metals $A, B$ and $C$ are $W_A, W_B$ and $W_C$ respectively. They are in decreasing order $(W_A > W_B > W_C)$. The correct graph between the maximum kinetic energy $E_k$ of the emitted electron and the frequency $v$ of the incident radiation is:

The work function of Cesium is $2.27 eV$. The cut-off voltage which stops the emission of electrons from a cesium cathode irradiated with light of $600 nm$ wavelength is

$A$ photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \frac{hc}{\phi_0}$). The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. $A$ change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_d$ in $\lambda_d$. Then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \lambda_d}{\Delta \lambda}$ is proportional to:

$A$ zinc ball of radius $1 \,cm$ is charged to a potential of $-0.5 \,V$. The ball is illuminated by a monochromatic ultraviolet light with a wavelength of $290 \,nm$. The photoelectric threshold for zinc is $332 \,nm$. The potential of the ball after a prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet light is ............. $V$.
