An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the second Bohr orbit to the ground state,and the energy difference of the two states is radiated in the form of photons. These photons are then allowed to fall on a metal surface having a work function equal to $4.2 \ eV$. Calculate the stopping potential. [Energy of electron in $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit $= -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$] (in $V$)

Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ respectively. If the velocities of the photo-electrons emitted are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively,then:

When green light is incident on the surface of a metal, it emits photo-electrons, but there is no such emission with yellow light. Which one of the following colors can produce the emission of photo-electrons?

The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$,$4972 \,\mathring A$,and $6216 \,\mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, W/m^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1 \, cm^2$ of a clean metallic surface with a work function of $2.3 \, eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2 \, s$.

What is the stopping potential when a metal with a work function of $0.6 \ eV$ is illuminated with light of $2 \ eV$ (in $V$)?
