According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the graph of the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons versus the frequency of incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope

  • A
    depends on the intensity of incident radiation.
  • B
    depends on the nature of the metal used.
  • C
    is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of radiation.
  • D
    depends on both the intensity of incident radiation and the nature of metal used.

Explain: "For photoelectric emission, the frequency of incident radiation should be greater than the threshold frequency."

In a photoelectric emission experiment,the stopping potential for a given metal is $V$ volt,when radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. If radiation of wavelength $2 \lambda$ is used with the same metal,then the stopping potential (in volt) will be. [Given: $c = \text{velocity of light}$,$e = \text{charge on electron}$,$h = \text{Planck's constant}$]

Sodium and copper have work functions $2.3 \ eV$ and $4.5 \ eV$ respectively. Then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to

When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is used to illuminate a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $V.$ When the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3 \lambda,$ the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}.$ If the threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is $n \lambda,$ then the value of $n$ will be......

The wave equation of an electric field at a point is $E = 100 \frac{V}{m} [\sin(7 \omega t) + \cos(10 \omega t) + \cos(15 \omega t)]$ at instant $t$. If the work function of the photocell is $\phi$,then the stopping potential is:
