Energy of the incident photons on the metal surface is initially $4W$ and then $6W$,where $W$ is the work function of that metal. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}: \sqrt{3}$

The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is $V$. The charge and mass of the photoelectron are denoted by $e$ and $m$ respectively. The stopping potential in volts is:

When light of wavelength '$\lambda$' is incident on a photosensitive surface, the stopping potential is '$V$'. When a light of wavelength $1.5\lambda$ is incident on the same surface, the stopping potential is '$\frac{V}{4}$'. Threshold wavelength for the surface is
