The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission in tungsten is $400 \ nm$. The wavelength of light that must be used in order to eject electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of $0.9 \ eV$ is .............. $nm$.

Two light waves of wavelengths $600 \,nm$ and $200 \,nm$ are incident on a metal surface. The maximum velocity of photoelectrons produced due to one wavelength is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons produced due to the other wavelength. The work function of the metal is:

When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of frequency $v$, the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $V_{0}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of frequency $\frac{v}{2}$, the stopping potential is $\frac{V_{0}}{4}$. The threshold frequency for photoelectric emission is:
