$A$ cobalt $(Co)$ plate is placed at a distance of $1 \,m$ from a point source of power $1 \,W$. Assume a circular area of the plate of radius $r = 1 \,Å$ is exposed to the radiation and ejects photoelectrons. The light energy is considered to be spread uniformly and the work function of cobalt is $5 \,eV$. The minimum time the target should be exposed to the light source to eject a photoelectron (assuming no reflection losses) is: (in $\,s$)

  • A
    $320$
  • B
    $450$
  • C
    $860$

For the photoelectric effect,which of the following statements are true?
$I$ The kinetic energies of the photoelectrons do not depend on the frequency of light.
$II$ The photoelectric effect will always occur for highly intense light.

When light of frequency $v$ is incident on a metal,photoelectrons are emitted. This is because...

Write the slope of the $eV_0 - \nu$ graph.

$V$ (stopping potential) is plotted against $\frac{1}{\lambda}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of incident radiation,for two metals.

When light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on a metal with work function $W$ (where $h v_{1} > W$), then the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of $V_{1}$. If the frequency of light is increased to $v_{2}$, the stopping potential changes to $V_{2}$. Therefore, the charge of an electron $e$ is given by:
