Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ of the incident light rays $(\nu_1 > \nu_2)$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the first case to that in the second case is $3 : K$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

In an experiment of photoelectric effect,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The relation between $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ is:

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the graph of stopping potential $V$ versus the reciprocal of wavelength $(1/\lambda)$ is shown in the figure. As the intensity of incident radiation is increased:

The difference between threshold wavelengths for two metal surfaces $A$ and $B$ having work functions $\phi_A = 9 \, eV$ and $\phi_B = 4.5 \, eV$ in $nm$ is: (Given,$hc = 1242 \, eV \, nm$)
