In the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ curve is plotted. ($h$ is Planck's constant and $\phi_0$ is the work function of the metal)
$(A)$ $V_0$ versus $\nu$ is linear.
$(B)$ The slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve $= \frac{\phi_0}{h}$.
$(C)$ Planck's constant $h$ is related to the slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ line.
$(D)$ The value of the electric charge of an electron is not required to determine $h$ using the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve.
$(E)$ The work function can be estimated without knowing the value of $h$.

Maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by a metal is $1.8 \times 10^{6} \ m/s$. Take the value of specific charge of the electron as $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$. Then the stopping potential in volt is

The stopping potential in the context of the photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation:

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:
