If light of wavelength $6600 \ \mathring A$ is incident on a metal surface with a work function of $2 \ eV$,what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

Monochromatic radiation emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the first excited state to the ground state irradiates a photosensitive material. The stopping potential is measured to be $3.57 \; V$. The threshold frequency of the material is ......... $\times 10^{15} \; Hz$.

The work functions for the following metals are given:
$Na: 2.75\;eV; K: 2.30\;eV; Mo: 4.17\;eV; Ni: 5.15\;eV$. Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength $3300\,\mathring{A}$ from a $He-Cd$ laser placed $1\;m$ away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed $50\;cm$ away?

In the case of the photoelectric effect,the graph of measured stopping potential $(V_0)$ against the frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light is a straight line. The slope of this line multiplied by the charge of an electron $(e)$ gives:
