In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the wavelength of the incident radiation is $\lambda$. The wavelength of the incident radiation is reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$ of the initial value,and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is observed to be $n$ times the previous value. The threshold wavelength for the metal plate is:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{n - 1}{n - 3} \right) \lambda$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{n}{n - 3} \right) \lambda$
  • C
    $\frac{(n + 1) \lambda}{n - 3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 \lambda}{n}$

The work function of a metal is $2 \ eV$. If a radiation of wavelength $3000 \ \text{Å}$ is incident on it,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is (Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js}$; velocity of light $c=3 \times 10^8 \ \text{m/s}$; $1 \ \text{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ \text{J}$).

The study of photoelectric effect is useful in understanding

The threshold frequency of a photosensitive material is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\alpha}$ line of hydrogen. If a photon whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\beta}$ line of hydrogen is incident on this photosensitive material,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is ($R$ = Rydberg's constant,$h$ = Planck's constant,and $c$ = speed of light in vacuum).

When ultraviolet rays are incident on a metal plate, the photoelectric effect does not occur. It occurs by the incidence of:

Photons of energy $7 \,eV$ are incident on two metals $A$ and $B$ with work functions $6 \,eV$ and $3 \,eV$,respectively. The minimum de-Broglie wavelengths of the emitted photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energies are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively,where $\lambda_A / \lambda_B$ is nearly
