$A$ Hydrogen-like atom has atomic number $Z$. Photons emitted in the electronic transitions from level $n=4$ to level $n=3$ in these atoms are used to perform a photoelectric effect experiment on a target metal. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons generated is $1.95 \ eV$. If the photoelectric threshold wavelength for the target metal is $310 \ nm$,the value of $Z$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$

The threshold frequency of a photosensitive material is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\alpha}$ line of hydrogen. If a photon whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\beta}$ line of hydrogen is incident on this photosensitive material,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is ($R$ = Rydberg's constant,$h$ = Planck's constant,and $c$ = speed of light in vacuum).

When photons of energy $1 \ eV$ and $2.5 \ eV$ are incident on a metal surface with a work function of $0.5 \ eV$,what is the ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons?

Radiation of monochromatic waves with a wavelength of $400 \ nm$ is incident on the surfaces of $Zn$,$Fe$,and $Ni$ metals,which have work functions of $3.4 \ eV$,$4.8 \ eV$,and $5.9 \ eV$ respectively. (Take $hc = 1242 \ eV \ nm$)
$(a)$ The maximum $KE$ of photoelectrons emitted from any metal surface is $0.3 \ eV$.
$(b)$ No photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of $Ni$.
$(c)$ If the frequency of the radiation source is doubled,the $KE$ of the photoelectrons also doubles.
$(d)$ If the wavelength of the incident radiation is less than $200 \ nm$,photoelectrons will be emitted from the surfaces of all three metals.
The correct statements are:

$A$ metal surface of work function $1.07 eV$ is irradiated with light of wavelength $332 nm$. The retarding potential required to stop the escape of photo-electrons is .............. $V$.

The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a photosensitive material of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $E$. If the frequency of the incident light is $3\nu$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is:
