The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is $1.5 \; V$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted?

The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic photoelectrons emitted from a photosensitive metal of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $\lambda$. Then $\nu =$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant and $m$ is the mass of the electron).

The work function of a certain metal is $3.31 \times 10^{-19} \,J$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by incident radiation of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$ is (Given: $h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \,J \cdot s$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$) (in $\text{ eV}$)

If a metal sheet is irradiated with radiations of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ and the kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are in the ratio $1 : x$, then the threshold frequency of the metal is:

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the maximum velocities of the emitted electrons when the surface of a metal is illuminated with light waves of energy $E_1 = 4 \text{ eV}$ and $E_2 = 2.5 \text{ eV}$,respectively. If the work function of the metal is $2 \text{ eV}$,then the ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is
