When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $3 V_{s}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $V_{s}$. The value of the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is:

The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photoelectrons emitted by a nickel surface,having work function $5.01 \, eV$,when ultraviolet light of $200 \, nm$ falls on it,must be ............... $V$.

The ratio of work functions of two metals $A$ and $B$ is $1:2$. If radiations of frequencies $f$ and $2f$ are incident on the surfaces of $A$ and $B$ respectively,the ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons will be: (Given $f >$ threshold frequency of $A$ and $2f >$ threshold frequency of $B$)

In a photoelectric experiment,ultraviolet light of wavelength $280 \, nm$ is used with a lithium cathode having a work function $\phi = 2.5 \, eV$. If the wavelength of incident light is switched to $400 \, nm$,find out the change in the stopping potential (in $V$).

Cut-off potentials for a metal in the photoelectric effect for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ are found to be $V_1$,$V_2$,and $V_3$ volts. If $V_1$,$V_2$,and $V_3$ are in Arithmetic Progression,then $\lambda_1$,$\lambda_2$,and $\lambda_3$ will be in:
