The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is $v$. The charge and mass of the photoelectron are denoted by $e$ and $m$ respectively. The stopping potential in volts is:

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If the photoelectron emitted from the surface has mass $m$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{d}$,then

When a photosensitive metal surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $V_1$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V_1}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the photosensitive metal surface is:

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:
