$A$ beam of light falls on a metal surface such that photo-electrons are generated. If the power of the light source starts to decrease linearly with time $t$, then the variation of the photocurrent $I$ and the magnitude of the stopping potential $|V|$ with time is best represented by:

When a point source of monochromatic light is at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photoelectric cell,the cut-off voltage and the saturation current are $0.6 \ V$ and $18 \ mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed $0.6 \ m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then:

$A$ metal surface of work function $1.13 eV$ is irradiated with light of wavelength $310 nm$. The retarding potential required to stop the escape of photoelectrons is [Take $hc = 1240 eV \cdot nm$] (in $V$)

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

$A$ metal is exposed to light of wavelength $800 \, nm$ and emits photoelectrons with a certain kinetic energy. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons doubles when light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used. The work function of the metal is $... \, eV$ (Take $hc = 1230 \, eV \cdot nm$).
