An electron in a Hydrogen atom jumps from the second Bohr orbit to the ground state, and the difference between the energies of the two states is radiated in the form of a photon. This photon strikes a material. If the work function of the material is $4.2 \ eV$, then the stopping potential is (Energy of electron in $n$-th orbit $= -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$). (in $V$)

The study of photoelectric effect is useful in understanding

When the wavelength of incident radiation is changed from $400 \ nm$ to $310 \ nm$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is doubled. The work function of the metal is ........ $eV$.

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:

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda / 3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ speed of light).
