When a metal plate is illuminated with light of wavelengths $400 \ nm$ and $250 \ nm$,the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons are $v$ and $2v$,respectively. The work function of the metal is ($h$ = Planck's constant; $c$ = speed of light in vacuum):

  • A
    $2 hc \times 10^6 \ J$
  • B
    $1.5 hc \times 10^6 \ J$
  • C
    $hc \times 10^6 \ J$
  • D
    $0.5 hc \times 10^6 \ J$

$A$ certain metallic surface is illuminated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength $\lambda$. The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this radiation is $3V_{0}$. If the same surface is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_{0}$. The threshold wavelength of this surface for the photoelectric effect is $n\lambda$.
