For a certain metal, when monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident, the stopping potential for photoelectrons is $3V_0$. When the same metal is illuminated by light of wavelength $2\lambda$, then the stopping potential becomes $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission for the given metal is $\alpha\lambda$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

When the electromagnetic radiations of frequencies $4 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ and $6 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ fall on the same metal in different experiments,the ratio of maximum kinetic energy of electrons liberated is $1: 3$. The threshold frequency for the metal is ............... $\times 10^{15} Hz$.

The wavelength of light in the visible region is about $390\; nm$ for violet colour,about $550\; nm$ (average wavelength) for yellow-green colour and about $760\; nm$ for red colour.
$(a)$ What are the energies of photons in $(eV)$ at the $(i)$ violet end,$(ii)$ average wavelength (yellow-green colour),and $(iii)$ red end of the visible spectrum? (Take $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \;J s$ and $1 \;eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \;J$)
$(b)$ From which of the photosensitive materials with work functions listed in the table,and using the results of $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ of $(a)$,can you build a photoelectric device that operates with visible light?

In the photoelectric effect,if the intensity of light is doubled,then the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons will become

Photoelectrons are emitted from a metal surface for frequencies $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1 : k$,then the threshold frequency of the metal surface is:
