Two identical metal plates show the photoelectric effect. Light of wavelength ${\lambda _A}$ falls on plate $A$ and light of wavelength ${\lambda _B}$ falls on plate $B$,where ${\lambda _A} = 2{\lambda _B}$. The maximum kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $2{K_A} = {K_B}$
  • B
    ${K_A} < {K_B}/2$
  • C
    ${K_A} = 2{K_B}$
  • D
    ${K_A} = {K_B}/2$

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the slope of the cut-off voltage versus frequency of incident light is found to be $4.12 \times 10^{-15} \; V \cdot s$. Calculate the value of Planck's constant.

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $k : 1$, then what is the threshold frequency of the metallic surface?

An isolated lead ball is charged upon continuous irradiation by $EM$ radiation of wavelength, $\lambda = 221 \,nm$. The maximum potential attained by the lead ball, if its work function is $4.14 \,eV$, is (take, $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,J \cdot s$, $c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s$, $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$): (in $\,V$)
