When a light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are emitted. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • C
    $4: 1$
  • D
    $1: 4$

In a photoelectric experiment,three different lights are incident on a metal with a work function of $1.5 \ eV$. Light $A$ has a wavelength of $200 \ nm$ and an intensity of $1.8 \ W/m^2$,light $B$ has a wavelength of $400 \ nm$ and an intensity of $1 \ W/m^2$,and light $C$ has a wavelength of $600 \ nm$ and an intensity of $0.5 \ W/m^2$. The photocurrent versus voltage is measured. Which graphs correspond to which light?

When photons of wavelength $\lambda_1$ are incident on an isolated sphere,the corresponding stopping potential is found to be $V$. When photons of wavelength $\lambda_2$ are used,the corresponding stopping potential is thrice that of the above value. If light of wavelength $\lambda_3$ is used,then find the stopping potential for this case.

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for a certain metal surface is $3600 \mathring A$. If the metal surface is irradiated by a wavelength of $1100 \mathring A$,the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is (in $\text{ eV}$)

An image of the sun is formed by a lens of focal length $30 \ cm$ on the metal surface of a photoelectric cell and a photoelectric current $I$ is produced. The lens forming the image is then replaced by another of the same diameter but of focal length $15 \ cm$. The photoelectric current in this case is
