Radiation of monochromatic waves with a wavelength of $400 \ nm$ is incident on the surfaces of $Zn$,$Fe$,and $Ni$ metals,which have work functions of $3.4 \ eV$,$4.8 \ eV$,and $5.9 \ eV$ respectively. (Take $hc = 1242 \ eV \ nm$)
$(a)$ The maximum $KE$ of photoelectrons emitted from any metal surface is $0.3 \ eV$.
$(b)$ No photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of $Ni$.
$(c)$ If the frequency of the radiation source is doubled,the $KE$ of the photoelectrons also doubles.
$(d)$ If the wavelength of the incident radiation is less than $200 \ nm$,photoelectrons will be emitted from the surfaces of all three metals.
The correct statements are:

  • A
    $c, d$
  • B
    $b, d$
  • C
    $b, c, d$
  • D
    $a, c, d$

The threshold frequency of a metal is $f_0$. When light of frequency $2f_0$ is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5f_0$, the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is

When a metal surface is illuminated by light of wavelengths $400\; nm$ and $250\; nm$,the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons ejected are $v$ and $2v$ respectively. The work function of the metal is ($h =$ Planck's constant,$c =$ velocity of light in air).
