In a photoelectric experiment,the potential difference $V$ that must be maintained between the illuminated surface and the collector so as just to prevent any electron from reaching the collector is determined for different frequencies $f$ of the incident illumination. The graph obtained is shown. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted at frequency $f_1$ is

  • A
    $hf_1$
  • B
    $\frac{V_1}{(f_1 - f_0)}$
  • C
    $h(f_1 - f_0)$
  • D
    $eV_1(f_1 - f_0)$

$A$ silver ball is suspended by a string in a vacuum chamber and ultraviolet light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on it. The maximum potential acquired by the ball,if the work function of silver is $4.7 \ eV$,will be .............. $V$.

When a photon of energy $4.25\, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A\, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70\, eV$ is ${T_B} = ({T_A} - 1.50)\, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:

The figure shows the plot of stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus $(1/\lambda)$ for three different metals. If $\phi$ is the work function,then which of the following is correct?

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

With reference to the observations in photoelectric effect,identify the correct statements from below:
$A.$ The square of maximum velocity of photoelectrons varies linearly with frequency of incident light.
$B.$ The value of saturation current increases on moving the source of light away from the metal surface.
