The threshold frequency of cesium is $5.16 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. Then its work function is . . . . . . $eV$.

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $400\,nm$ and power $1.55\,mW$ is directed at the cathode of a photoelectric cell. If only $10\%$ of the incident photons effectively produce photoelectrons,then find the current due to these electrons in $\mu A$. (Given: $hc = 1240\,eV\cdot nm$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)

In the experiment of the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential for a given metal is $V_{0}$ volts when radiation of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is used. If radiation of wavelength $2\lambda_{0}$ is used for the same metal,then the stopping potential (in volts) will be: [$e=$ charge on electron,$c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant.]

Light of frequency $4\nu_0$ is incident on a metal surface with a threshold frequency $\nu_0$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is:

The variation of stopping potential for metals $A$,$B$,$C$ and $D$ with the frequency of incident radiation is shown in the figure. For which metal is the stopping potential higher for a given frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ if the threshold frequency is lower $(\nu_o)$?
