The variation of stopping potential for metals $A$,$B$,$C$ and $D$ with the frequency of incident radiation is shown in the figure. For which metal is the stopping potential higher for a given frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ if the threshold frequency is lower $(\nu_o)$?

$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda$ and intensity $I$ falls on a photosensitive material. If $N$ photoelectrons are emitted,each with kinetic energy $E$,then:

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 $\text{ eV}$)

The threshold frequency of a metal is $F_0$. When light of frequency $2F_0$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $V_1$. When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to $5F_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $V_2$. The ratio of $V_1$ to $V_2$ is:
