When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential of ejected photoelectrons is $4.8 \, V$. If the same surface is illuminated by radiation of double the previous wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \, V$. The threshold wavelength of the metal is $... \lambda$.

Light of wavelength $4000 \ \mathring A$ is incident on a photosensitive surface. If a potential of $-2 \ V$ is required to stop the emitted electrons,the work function of the material is: $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$ (in $eV$)

If light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is allowed to fall on a metal,then the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is $E_1$. If the wavelength of light changes to $\lambda_2$,then the kinetic energy of the electrons changes to $E_2$. Then the work function of the metal is:

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to $5$ and $10$ times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. What is the ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases,respectively?

When photons of energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident on the metal surface one after other,the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. The ratio $v_1: v_2$ is

$A$ beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity $6.4 \times 10^{-5} \; W/cm^{2}$ is comprised of wavelength $\lambda = 310 \; nm$. It falls normally on a metal surface (work function $\varphi = 2 \; eV$) of surface area $1 \; cm^{2}$. If one in $10^{3}$ photons ejects an electron, the total number of electrons ejected in $1 \; s$ is $10^{x}$. Then $x$ is: $(hc = 1240 \; eV \cdot nm, 1 \; eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; J)$
