  • A
    $X_1$
  • B
    $X_2$
  • C
    $X_3$

$A$ ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely $1$, $2$ and $3$. The threshold wavelengths of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$, respectively, and the magnitudes of the stopping potentials of these cells are $V_1$, $V_2$ and $V_3$, respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and the threshold wavelengths is $\lambda_1 < \lambda$, $\lambda_2 > \lambda$ and $\lambda_3 >> \lambda$. The correct option is:

The stopping potential for a photoelectric emission process is $10 \ V$. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons ejected in the process is [Charge on electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]

$A$ photon of energy $E$ ejects a photoelectron from a metal surface whose work function is $W_0$. If this electron enters into a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius $r$,then the radius $r$ is given by,(in the usual notation)

The energy of the incident photon on a metal surface is $3W$ and then $5W$,where $W$ is the work function of that metal. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is:
