  • A
    Remains constant
  • B
    Reduced to $1/16$ of its original value
  • C
    Doubled
  • D

When a metallic surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential for the photoelectric current is $3 \text{ V}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential is $1 \text{ V}$. The threshold wavelength for this surface is:

Initially,a photon of wavelength $\lambda_1$ falls on a photocathode and emits an electron of maximum energy $E_1$. If the wavelength of the incident photon is changed to $\lambda_2$,the maximum energy of the electron emitted becomes $E_2$. Then the value of $hc$ ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light) is

In an experiment with the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential:

What is the threshold frequency of a metal with a work function of $1.65 \ eV$?

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:
