When a photon of energy $hv$ is incident on an aluminum plate with a work function $E_0$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $K$. If the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will be .......

When the light of frequency $2v_0$ (where $v_0$ is threshold frequency) is incident on a metal plate,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5v_0$,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

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:

Monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \;nm$ $(1 \;nm = 10^{-9} \;m)$ from a neon lamp irradiates a photosensitive material made of caesium on tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be $0.54 \;V$. The source is replaced by an iron source and its $427.2 \;nm$ line irradiates the same photo-cell. Predict the new stopping voltage (in $V$).
