For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:

Photoelectric emission occurs only when the incident light has more than a certain minimum

Photons of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metal. The most energetic electrons ejected from the metal are bent into a circular arc of radius $R$ by a perpendicular magnetic field having a magnitude $B$. The work function of the metal is (where,symbols have their usual meanings)

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:
