In the experiment of $P.E.E.$,the $KE_{max}$ of an electron is $K_0$. If the frequency is increased by a factor of $n_1$,then the $KE_{max}$ becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function.

  • A
    $\left( \frac{n_2 - n_1}{n_1 - 1} \right) K_0$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{n_2 - n_1}{n_2 + n_1} \right) K_0$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{n_2 + n_1}{n_2 - n_1} \right) K_0$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{n_2 + n_1}{n_2 - 1} \right) K_0$

The work functions of three metals $A, B$ and $C$ are $W_A, W_B$ and $W_C$ respectively. They are in decreasing order $(W_A > W_B > W_C)$. The correct graph between the maximum kinetic energy $E_k$ of the emitted electron and the frequency $v$ of the incident radiation is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ Emission of electrons in photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electric potential to the photoemissive substance.
Reason $(R) :$ $A$ negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

In the photoelectric effect,if the intensity of light is doubled,then the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons will become

The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:
