According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the graph of the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons versus the frequency of incident radiation is a straight line. Its slope . . . . . .

The lowest frequency of light that will cause the emission of photoelectrons from the surface of a metal (for which work function is $1.65 \ eV$) will be

$A$ copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\, eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\, \mathring{A}$. The effect of irradiation results in the emission of electrons from the ball. Further,the ball will acquire charge,and due to this,there will be a finite value of the potential on the ball. The charge acquired by the ball is:

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,a student plots the stopping potential $V_0$ against the reciprocal of the wavelength $1/\lambda$ of the incident light for two different metals $A$ and $B$. These are shown in the figure. Looking at the graphs,you can most appropriately say that:

$A$ certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$. The stopping potential for the photoelectric current for this light is $3V_0$. If the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for this surface for the photoelectric effect is:
