Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $n_1$ and $n_2$. If the velocities of the emitted photoelectrons of mass $m$ are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively, then ($h$ = Planck's constant)

  • A
    $V_1 + V_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(n_1 + n_2)]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $V_1 - V_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(n_1 - n_2)]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $V_1^2 + V_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(n_1 + n_2)$
  • D
    $V_1^2 - V_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(n_1 - n_2)$

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $E_k$ of the emitted photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $\nu$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the curve gives

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for silver is $\lambda_{0}$. The energy of the electron ejected from the surface of silver by an incident wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \lambda_{0}$) will be:

Light of frequency $8 \times 10^{15} \ Hz$ is incident on a substance of photoelectric work function $6.125 \ eV$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is ........... $eV$.

Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.

When the wavelength of incident radiation on a metal surface is reduced from $\lambda_1$ to $\lambda_2$,the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is tripled. Find the work function of the metal. [$h =$ Planck's constant,$c =$ velocity of light]
