For photoelectric emission, tungsten requires light of $2300 \mathring{A}$. If light of $1800 \mathring{A}$ wavelength is incident, then emission:

  • A
    Takes place
  • B
    Does not take place
  • C
    May or may not take place
  • D
    Depends on frequency

For most metals, threshold frequencies lie in which region?

Monochromatic light with a frequency well above the cutoff frequency is incident on the emitter in a photoelectric effect apparatus. The frequency of the light is then doubled while the intensity is kept constant. How does this affect the photoelectric current?

Which one of the following is true in photoelectric emission?

The variation of photoelectric current with anode potential is shown below. Choose the correct option ($V_0$ = stopping potential).

Two metallic plates $A$ and $B$,each of area $5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$,are placed parallel to each other at a separation of $1 \, cm$. Plate $B$ carries a positive charge of $33.7 \, pC$. $A$ monochromatic beam of light,with photons of energy $5 \, eV$ each,starts falling on plate $A$ at $t = 0$,so that $10^{16}$ photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every $10^6$ incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate $B$ and the work function of plate $A$ remains constant at $2 \, eV$. The electric field between the plates at the end of $10 \, seconds$ is:
