Photons of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metal. The most energetic electrons ejected from the metal are bent into a circular arc of radius $R$ by a perpendicular magnetic field having a magnitude $B$. The work function of the metal is (where,symbols have their usual meanings)

The threshold frequency of a metal is $F_0$. When light of frequency $2F_0$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $V_1$. When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to $5F_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $V_2$. The ratio of $V_1$ to $V_2$ is:

$A$ photon of energy $8\,eV$ is incident on a metal surface of threshold frequency $1.6 \times 10^{15}\,Hz$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is .......... $eV$.

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 . . . . . . .
