When radiations of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential required is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiations of double the wavelength,the required stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. The value of the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

The metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and the stopping potential for the photoelectric current is $5V_0$. When the same metallic surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. What is the threshold wavelength for the surface?

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the cathode metal is exposed to light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron doubles when light of wavelength $400 \ nm$ is used. The work function of the cathode metal is approximately: [Use $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J-s, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$] (in $eV$)
