In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

Light of two different frequencies whose photons have energies $1 \text{ eV}$ and $2.5 \text{ eV}$ respectively,successively illuminates a metal of work function $0.5 \text{ eV}$. The ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted electrons will be:

An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)

The slope of the graph between the frequency of incident light and the stopping potential for a given surface is:

The given figure shows a few data points in a photoelectric effect experiment for a certain metal. The minimum energy for the ejection of an electron from its surface is $....... eV$. (Planck's constant $h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$)
