In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

  • A
    $12 \times 10^{15}$
  • B
    $9 \times 10^{15}$
  • C
    $9 \times 10^{14}$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{13}$

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the graph between the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons and the frequency of incident radiation is:

In the experiment of the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential for a given metal is $V_{0}$ volts when radiation of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is used. If radiation of wavelength $2\lambda_{0}$ is used for the same metal,then the stopping potential (in volts) will be: [$e=$ charge on electron,$c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant.]

$A$ silver ball of radius $4.8 \ cm$ is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber. $UV$ light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on the ball for some time,during which a total energy of $1 \times 10^{-7} \ J$ falls on the surface. Assuming that on average one out of $10^3$ incident photons is able to eject an electron,the potential on the sphere will be ............ $V$.
